This is forbidden.
Gov. Mark Sanford reminded us of silly talk about the sanctity of marriage. Sanford--who would impeach Clinton--is guilty of the very same indiscretion, a.k.a., cheating on his wife, doing the very same thing he found Clinton guilty of doing.
This is a Letter to the Editor I saw posted on andrewsullivan.com and WaPo letters that is very telling, expressing how many of us feel and think:
I am a gay man. My partner lives 12 time zones away. We are in a monogamous relationship, and we do not cheat. We get to see each other only twice a year for less than three weeks. Although he is a professional in marketing, the United States will not let him immigrate because he was not picked in the lottery. The federal government would not recognize our relationship if I married him. The government will not allow us to be together.
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford ["S.C. Gov. Sanford Admits to an Affair," front page, June 25] and Sen. John Ensign (and former House speaker Newt Gingrich and senator Larry Craig) oppose same-sex marriages even as they do their best to destroy the institution of marriage in the United States.
I pay my taxes. I served in the military. I was an Eagle Scout. In short, I am a good, but second-class, citizen. It's very hard not to be infuriated by the double standards.
