The Times recently posted an article that propelled itself to the top and has more or less bobbed about the top-five most popular ever since. I'm sure this was in part due to its prominence for two days on the front page with the leader asking why gay men are opting for "marriage".

In a brilliant array of 50's-esque knockoff photos (the wife 'cleaning' under her husband's feet, the husband proudly encircling the wife as she clutches her well done roast) the reader is treated to the inner dialogs of young twenty-something gays as they ponder nuptials.

Frankly I couldn't give a crap about gay marriage one way or another. If people want it, fine. If they hate it, fine. I don't really have any great opinion one way or another. What annoys me about the article, however, is the pretense of mystery.

Gosh, gee, golly, why oh why do young gay men, the types who love to kiss in public, throw lavish parties, and dress in fancy spats, getting married? Who the hell knows, right....?
