The headline at Alternet (from an article from Salon), An Anti-LGBT Pastor’s Outed on Gay Dating Site, is rapidly becoming the "Dog Bites Man" of news.
One of the things I would dearly love to hammer into the heads of all these God-fearing Christians and conservatives on the down-low: Marriage will not make you straight. Marriage can't even make you rich, happy, or moderately good-looking. Marriage won't transform your race, ethnicity, ancestors, or birth relatives. Marriage can't change your taste in clothes, home furnishings, automobiles, or movies. Marriage does not alter your sports loyalties or your favorite TV shows. And if marriage doesn't do any of these things, what gives you the idea that marriage will "fix" your sexuality? It's like expecting that buying size 28 waist 28 inseam jeans, without nasty surgical interventions or unpleasantly stringent physical modifications, will magically reduce your body to fit.
To put it in the vernacular: Nuh-uh. Ain't gonna happen.
Current assumption is now that the more virulent the anti-gay pronouncements, the more likely that person is at least bi-curious and just hasn't been caught.
By the way, that's not the oncoming rant.
