Better to be against gay marriage or make a sex tape? What a stupid question...makes no sense.
In addition, she is not an “anti-gay marriage champion.” She was asked a question and gave her position. She did not choose the question.
Normally it is a stupid question, except when it concerns Prejean. The question being asked is "if you are anti gay marriage in a public way and you make a sex tape, will the conservative right wing of the republican party support you"
In the case of Prejean, the answer is yes.
Meghan does miss the more important point which is "if you are anti gay marriage in a public way, will the leftist media go on a dirt digging witch hunt on you, the answer is yes, and if you are pro gay marriage in a public way, will the leftist media cover up numerous indiscresions for you (Ted Kennedy, Sharon Tate's husband, Barney Frank, etc.) the answer is also yes.
Bottom line: Meghan addresses the small hypocrisy of the right wing while ignoring the huge and glaring hypocrisy of the left wing. (but yes, regarding Prejean, the right wing does have a consistency problem)
You put your finger on it. McCainette sets up a false dichotomy in order to attack people who oppose "gay marriage" (</oxymoron>) but manages to kludge it up anyway.
The real answer is that no, people need not assume that private tapes are going to go public. Yes, the risk is there, but arrangements can be made to keep that kind of material secure. And no, it is not a moral indictment (which is where Meghan wants to go) or an indictment of common sense (what she'll settle for) for a married man and woman, in their own private rooms, to make such a tape, if they want to.
This is a question of quod licet Jovi, non licet bovi: married people are allowed to do X if they want to. Homosexual unmarried people are not allowed to do Y, by law and by custom. End of story.
Except for Nidiots like McCainette who come along later and wonder, after having been on the wrong side of an important social issue, why they don't have more stroke within a conservative political party. For them, perhaps a little remedial political education is in order. She could start with logic.
