May 17 was a milestone: the one-year anniversary of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts. The media marked the occasion by spotlighting some of the 6,000 gay and lesbian couples who got married here during the past 12 months, and if there was a common theme that ran through all the interviews and profiles, it was the joy of the newlyweds. Hundreds of same-sex couples converged on Boston Common to celebrate the anniversary on Tuesday, and in the large group photo that appeared in The Boston Globe the next morning, virtually every face is wreathed in smiles. If I were a supporter of same-sex marriage, I would congratulate the delighted couples on their anniversary and wish them continued happiness.

"Yes -- if your goal is to silence an opponent, playing the hate card can be an effective tactic. But it is illiberal and crude, unworthy of people who style themselves ''progressive."

[grellis]

Illiberal? That's a word?

We need a Constitutional ban NOW.

I agree, however, I'd like to go a step further. We need to outlaw homosexuality.

We need to outlaw homosexuality

How would such a law be enforced, my dear?

I was wondering if anybody was going to respond to that. :~)

We need to outlaw homosexuality.

Counter-productive. Keep it around so that us heteros are appreciated.
