The
Globe continued to promote gay marriage last month with a cover
story (and picture) in its "Boston Globe Magazine."
But
as it recounted a glowing story about two homosexual men who
have joined in civil union in Vermont, it let slip an
excruciating detail. One of the partners has Crohn's disease, a
serious bowel ailment.
It
is common knowledge that disease of the bowels is prevalent
among homosexuals because of their sexual practices. The Globe
reported that the disease in this man "can result in
incapacitating hospitalizations" for which he definitely
wants and needs hospitalization insurance. Although there are
many people who suffer from Crohn's Disease who are not
homosexual, everyone would agree that a homosexual lifestyle
would not be beneficial to the disease.
Many
observers also questioned the accuracy of the Globe's stark
statement that Vermont's civil unions are not recognized outside
of that state. Despite the propaganda from the Globe, observers
say it is unclear what the effect of those "unions"
will be in other states, particularly in those few, such as
Massachusetts, which do not as yet have a Protection of Marriage
Act.
The
Globe also reaffirmed what many others have said: civil unions are
only a temporary stepping stone to gay marriage.
