From yesterday:

I was having this discussion with Mrs. Fish on Sunday, with respect to the nontroversy that is “gay Superman”: Why the fuck should someone else’s sexual preferences matter to me? What’s it hurting me if a man I know enjoys sex with other men? What harm is it going to do my kids when they learn that someone close to them is a lesbian? The entire concept of “my morality is the only right morality” just grates on me incessantly, because, even if it is true, that doesn’t give anyone the right to judge or to complain or to use (legislative or physical) force to make them change. I am constantly reminded of the story of the woman caught in adultery, where Jesus said, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” After everyone had left, he was gentle with the woman: “Neither do I condemn you. Now go and leave your life of sin.” We can remind people of what is moral and just without being assholes about it; punishment is not ours to inflict. And again, that is true regardless of whether one’s moral view is objectively virtuous or not.
