I skimmed through some of her posts and though I didn’t find them convincing, I didn’t see anything objectionable about them. This brings up a question: are there any prominent same-sex marriage opponents that the other side doesn’t dismiss as bigoted?

If Gallagher is bigoted, a claim that I hesitate to make outright, then I will say this at least: She is among the best of the lot. And her colleague Eve Tushnet is even better, in my opinion.

My real complaint with Gallagher is not that she’s an outright anti-gay bigot. It’s more that she dodges all the difficult questions that her position implies. This is a kind of intellectual bigotry, not against gay people at all really, but against any ideas that might challenge her own. I find it troubling, but for entirely different reasons.

Man, and I was hoping for some witty repartee like “the analogy works, because X is Y with tits.”

Chris,
And you wonder if your blog will hurt your employability. With comments like that, do you have to ask?

Touché; chalk it up to the fever.
