Gay marriage as a " human right " ? ( Brodhead letter )

Supporting gay marriage, James Brodhead of Little Compton, R.I.

    writes in a letter to the Boston Globe (July 20 ) : " ...human rights

    are not subject to plebiscite ".  That gay marriage is a  HUMAN RIGHT is

    a rather recent discovery of the era of political correctness.

                  The true nature of  BOURGEOIS MARRIAGE - recognized by

    the state - is revealed in the divorce court: it is clearly - as those

    dear old socialist feminist battle axes discovered - an oppressive, suffocating,

    miserable ECONOMIC institution -serving PRIVATE PROPERTY and capitalism .

                 I have no problem with homosexuality. I always admired the

    REBEL in the gay person. In loving concern, I say : " Don't do it ! "

                  Don't ever become another gay person's " ball and chain " !

              In the 60s the idea caught on that you can't OWN anybody - not

    even a lover.   I say to my gay friends : " Stay unrespectable - and

    HAPPY ! "

            But if you really want to marry, I won't be a George Wallace

    blocking you in the doorway of the Church or City Hall.

                What a fortune for lawyers - this gay marriage business !

              Who got the house ? Who got the dog  ?
