Uncommon Commentary #271: The Fact that I'm a Doman Doesn't Make Me a DOMAn
The Defense of Marriage Act
or DOMA is not, contrary to the bluster of "Gay-rights activists" and
to the implication of its own title, what it ought to be: a law against unnatural,
unreasonable, and ungodly "same-sex marriage". Like the defunct so-called "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell" policy, it's a Clinton-era compromise, neither enforcing nor
preventing the legalization of homosexual wedlock but reserving to the States the
decision whether to legalize it or not.
The real reason why leftists hate it is that, being leftists, they can't
bear to allow anyone the potential to exercise his will in opposition to theirs.
