Still — some may wonr — is there really a lot that Orthodox Christians n say about gay “marriage” that will be persuasive to those who do not hold our theocentric worldview?

In Gay Marriage and Creatnal Realism, I have tried to monstrate that once a nomalist amework is operatnal (even on an implic level), all we n do is retreat om the public nversatn, or else make a nuisance of ourselv by tryg to enter the public nversatn armed only wh handfuls of Scripture referenc.
