Fortunately, my marriage is secure enough that it endured no lasting ill-effects when the guys next door got married. We wished them well but suffered no sudden urges to divorce. On the other hand, when Larry King got married for the 18th time, we shook in our shoes.

If marriage is about man and woman and children, then the wedding I attended between a 60 year old woman and a 62 year old man shouldn’t be sanctioned.

Those of you who think “civil union” gives you the same rights as marriage ought to talk to the Social Security administration and the IRS, for starters.

Why do Ellen and Portia scare you so much? And why don’t the Larry Kings and the Elizabeth Taylors of the world scare you more?
