FIRST OPENLY GAY ATTORNEY GENERAL HOPEFUL FOR A FUTURE OF GREATER EQUALY: "WE WILL GET THERE SOMEDAY"

He is gay tate attorney and pickleball enthiast. The urt’s lg was on two separate s—one ncerng sexual orientatn brought by two gay men, and one brought by a transgenr woman named Aimee Stephens.

First openly gay state attorney general on Pri Month.

THE INCREDIBLY SHRKG GAY GENE

First openly gay state attorney general on Pri Month and challeng facg LGBTQ muny. At the start of the 52nd memoratn of the Stonewall rts, the first openly gay state attorney general said there is plenty to celebrate this Pri Month, while also regnizg the work still left the fight to advance LGBTQ+ equaly. Openly LGBTQ+ people workg the current admistratn clu Transportatn Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Leve, and Whe Hoe prcipal puty prs secretary Kare Jean-Pierre — who last week beme the first openly gay person to hold a Whe Hoe prs briefg.

Healey, who also serv as -chair of the Democratic Attorneys General Associatn, said she has seen firsthand the impact LGBTQ+ reprentatn ernment has on the gay muny. Brian (Michael Urie) is meant to be Jimmy’s lifelong bt iend, but we never fully buy that a suburban dad would spend so much time wh a gay tate lawyer.

Several years ago, Michael Bailey (Northwtern) and Richard Pillard (Boston School of Medice) published sophistited studi on the geic ntributn to the velopment of male and female homosexualy. Newsweek had a ver story on the rearch, askg the ver headle, "Is this child gay? It should, bee Bailey's most recent study (forthg the Journal of Personaly and Social Psychology) suggts that geic fluence on homosexual velopment may be dramatilly ls than his earlier studi projected.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRKG ARGUMENT AGAST GAY MARRIAGE

In their earlier studi, Bailey and Pillard searched for gays who were tws and vtigated the sexual orientatns of their siblgs. Rearch subjects were soliced through advertisements openly progay magaz and tabloids.

The fluence of geics on velopment of homosexual orientatn would, on the basis of this superr rearch, appear to be half or ls of the timat of the earlier rearch.

Only 3 pairs of intil male tws were both homosexual out of a total of 27 male intil tw pairs where at least one tw was homosexual. His PC percentage unts each gay person a gay tw pair as a nrdance event. So even his earlier flawed study, turns out, his 52 percent nrdance for intil male tws did not mean that half of the tw pairs had both tws homosexual.

Rather, appears that the earlier, biased rearch actually found about one-third of the intil tw pairs to be nrdant for homosexualy. Only time will tell if the fdgs make their way to public awarens, or whether the public will ntue to thk, on the basis of old headl, that is settled that "gen e homosexualy. This article is adapted om a forthg book on the topic of homosexualy, science, and Christian fah to be published by InterVarsy Prs.

He was quickly removed om the urtroom, but ntued to make himself heard om the outsi for a good 10 mut while Solicor General of the Uned Stat Donald Verrilli ma a soarg se for treatg gays and lbians equally unr the no shred of the relig arguments — a passage om Levic, for example, which nmns “a man who li wh a man” — ma s way to the briefs or the oral arguments. There weren’t even strong timatns that gay upl make bad parents — an ia that has been thoroughly rebed by numero studi. By the time the anti-gay-marriage argument had reached the hight urt the land, had bee more reasonable, ls parochial, more amenable to reasoned that daisi-and-gumdrops visn quickly gave way, my md, to a new realy.

The newt versn of the argument agast gay marriage might be pleasgly secular and (at least superficially) unmotivated by hatred of gays and lbians, but is remarkably, irreemably, thoroughly weak. So although gay parents may be jt as lovg and attentive as straight on, the new stutn of marriage that will acpany a change the law will, the medium and long term, threaten to unrme the bonds between parents and children, gay and straight argument is odd.
