Are there certain things that same-sex marriages might be better equipped to handle than heterosexual marriages?
Same-sex marriages have the potential to realize equality between the two partners in a way that, in our generally sexist culture, many heterosexual marriages do not. Obviously it depends on the people involved, but by removing the issue of the gender war, you can have perhaps a more equal relationship. The gay community had high hopes for President Clinton. Were you surprised when he signed the Defense of Marriage Act? One of the errors of any civil rights movement is to think that our work will be done for us by any single politician, especially a politician like Bill Clinton, whose actions are more calibrated carefully to his — not just daily, but hourly — political advantage. We’re bigger than President Clinton. President Clinton will come and go and this movement will be remembered. We want politicians to support us. But we’re not dependent on them, and one day they will regret the fact that on their records they didn’t stand up for what was right. Do you plan to get married, ha
