But what I detect in it is the work of someone who was never all that interested in investigating the arguments on either side of the
same - sex marriage debate; whose scant interest in it has now been fully exhausted, both intellectually and morally; and whose present
conclusions hover in mid-air
without anything
to support them other than a wistful regret that he has lost a hoedown partner in a gay man who has
come fairly unglued over the issue.
