Do I have blood on my hands? Major gay-rights groups are saying so. Each of us who opposes gay mar riage, they say, is responsible for the terrible and tragic suicides of gay teens that recently hit the news.
*
San Francisco just filed a brief in the Prop 8 case, saying 7 million Californians who voted to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman are responsible for high rates of suicide among gay people.
*
Evan Wolfson, one of the leading architects of the gay marriage movement, calls me out personally: "National Organization for Marriage Chairman Maggie Gallagher is among those who, with reckless disregard, attacks LGBT youth."
*
Apparently, either we all agree that gay marriage is good or gay children will die. It's a horrific charge to levy in response to some pretty horrifying stories. Will gay marriage really reduce or prevent gay teen suicide? I felt a moral obligation to find out.
*
Forced sex, childhood sexual abuse, dating violence, early unwed pregnancy, substance abuse -- could these be a more important factor in the increased suicide risk of LGBT high schoolers than anything people like me ever said?
*
The deeper you look, the more you see kids who are generally unprotected in horrifying ways that make it hard to believe -- if you are really focusing on these kids' well-being -- that gay marriage is the answer.
*
Note, that according to Maggie Gallagher, everyone and everything other that the hate she peddles - and utilizes to enrich herself - is the cause of gay teen suicides. The woman is beyond foul and, if there is a Hell, she's no doubt has a reserved space with her name on it.
