This is a very interesting article which provides the two sides of the gay and marriage debate and offers a compromise. Although I dont think that this will really go anywhere, this is an interesting compromise which I believe has footing. What do you think of this possible compromise?

I'm usually leery of the word "compromise" because I think the idea itself has been "compromised" far too often. However, the concept of two opposing forces recognizing there is a way to get closer to what they want/need without "compromising" their position sounds like a potential win-win. Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting article.
ReplyDeleteDiffering sides need to come together on this issue soon. This has dragged on too long in my opinion.
Really, the big picture here is that the dominant culture, i.e., (white, male, christian) is finally being pushed enough by the momentum of the GLBT rights movement. If the GLBT group had not gained enough political pull, gay marriage wouldn't even make the 10 o'clock news.
His article is very safe. He takes the safe approach by not offering a concrete solution, just saying we need sincere tolerance in politics as a whole. I agree with him, but when he makes the statement: "Here's what I think," then follows it with nothing specific, it's a let-down.
ReplyDeleteI think that people are too passionate about this issue to every really "compromise". I thought the article did a good job at making a case for compromise, but the general public is so easily cast against each other that I don't know if you could easily get a compromise to work. Good luck I say!
