i don't usually link to articles about the latest crazy in US politics (not enough signal), but this is well written, funny and disturbing all at once.

Let me be clear. The opinions and analysis of this all-white, moralistic, American Taliban have no purchase in the land of black folk. It's not like the Official Committee Of Black Folk (I'm a rotating co-chair for the Northeast Directorate) sits around wondering what THE FAMiLY LEADER thinks about our family situation, but still, to invoke slavery in "defense" of marriage exposes a complete lack of historical understanding and common sense, much less sensitivity.
