...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The First Book of Moses, Called Genesis, Chp. 1, Vs. 26-27
Bartleby, KJV

President Bush is beginning a major push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage - part of a new campaign to reassure cultural conservatives who say he and his party abandoned them after the 2004 elections.

Mr. Bush is to declare strong support for the amendment - scheduled for a vote in the Senate next week - in his radio address on Saturday, and at an event at the White House Monday with conservative activists, White House officials said today.

A sensible, and sensitive, compromise would be to pass a law making it a mandatory requirement that when two people get married, one of the partners must be very masculine - male-ish, and the other must be very feminine - female-ish.
This will make the discomfort a lot of unsphisticated straight people feel about couples who look like each other kissing and having sex a non-issue.
