And to think you could have been staring at goats instead. The only spoiler was that this is a family blog. Really?

Comment on Gay marriage by Andrew

Hey Jenn –

Yeah, I prefer framing the issue as one of ‘marriage equity’ over ‘gay marriage,’ too. But I’m not sure how much explanatory mileage we get from this. The interesting issue for me is precisely the demise (?) of the 1970s/80s/early 90s style of ‘difference’ politics (which was hardly limited to the gay movement, of course) celebrating diversity of identity and lifestyle choice to one which emphasizes equity. It’s a matter of weight rather than strict dichotomies, of course, but still consequential nevertheless.

As I understand it, one resolution of the back-and-forth about “bourgeois ideals” like marriage led to the reframing of the issue as one of civil rights, and the re-terming (? re-terminalization?) of the issue as one of “marriage equity” not “gay marriage.” I know I far prefer the former.

Bob

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Lived on Oki twice 67-71 then hey wait it was three times, 71-72 (two months then got kicked off as my parents left), then 78-80 in the service.

Lived on Kadena as a kid, went to Kubasaki , dated Grace Umagat, Gary Umagats sis, who lived down by you in Ojana behind the A&W.
Go to Oki at least once a year to see Mark Payne and old friend and others.

Love the island and will retire there should something happen to my spouse.
