G. K. Chesterton: It's Not Gay and It's Not Marriage : Crisis Magazine


Dale Ahlquist, to whom we are in great debt for keeping G. K. Chesterton alive, wrote this extremely quotable and profound piece at Crisis Magazine last week.  Here's the opening paragraph:
One of the pressing issues of Chesterton’s time was “birth control.” He not only objected to the idea, he objected to the very term because it meant the opposite of what it said. It meant no birth and no control. I can only imagine he would have the same objections about “gay marriage.” The idea is wrong, but so is the name. It is not gay and it is not marriage.
