Oxblog's David Adesnik, among others, is shocked and appalled at Rick Santorum's comparison of homosexuality with polygamy, incest and adultery. Now, I understand that many--perhaps most--people today consider private sexual activity between consenting adults to be morally unobjectionable by definition, and most gay sex would certainly fall into that category. On the other hand, many of these same people, apparently including Adesnik, find it outrageous and offensive that anyone would compare gay sex with (presumably consensual) polygamy, incest and adultery, because the latter are all.....uh, what? Icky and disgusting? Prohibited by the Bible? Just not done, you know, by Our Sort of People? Somebody help me out here....
