“As it happens, I experience my homosexuality as a (mild) disability. If I could have designed myself in the womb, I would have chosen to be heterosexual, because I feel I am missing out on something special and irreplaceable by not being able to conceive and raise a child with the partner I love. On the other hand, I say the disability is mild because most people need to do without some important opportunity. Life is like that. We play the hand we’re dealt.”

–Jonathan Rauch, Gay Marriage; can’t remember the last time I heard anyone say that.

RauchWatch 2004: Book is good. He has now talked about sex quite a bit, and on page 144 we even get our first (fleeting) reference to the existence of actual human bisexuals. Now the words I want him to use are “mother” and “father.” He has 52 pages in which to do this.
