Hugh Hefner came out with this amazing quote:
“The fight for gay marriage is, in reality, a fight for all of our rights. Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time. Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you’ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom. Their goal is to dehumanize everyone’s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalize your entire sex life…This is a religious nation, but it is also a secular one. … No one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no one should have their personal freedoms infringed. This is America and we must protect the rights of all Americans.”
Also, on a related note, I just finished the book by Zach Wahls, and he did mention that his moms bought him a subscription to Playboy when he was in high school, with the caveat that they had to read it first (which they did once, and that was it). Kind of strange, yet progressive. Although I guess at the time he was growing up, with the access to the Internet, it was a good way to allow access but approve of the source.
All my best,
The King of Spades
