So Is She Gay?
The Atlantic ^ | May 10, 2010 | Andrew Sullivan

Posted on 05/10/2010 10:31:35 AM PDT by DesertRenegade

It is no more of an empirical question than whether she is Jewish. We know she is Jewish, and it is a fact simply and rightly put in the public square. If she were to hide her Jewishness, it would seem rightly odd, bizarre, anachronistic, even arguably self-critical or self-loathing. And yet we have been told by many that she is gay ... and no one will ask directly if this is true and no one in the administration will tell us definitively.

In a word, this is preposterous - a function of liberal cowardice and conservative discomfort. It should mean nothing either way. Since the issue of this tiny minority - and the right of the huge majority to determine its rights and equality - is a live issue for the court in the next generation, and since it would be bizarre to argue that a Justice's sexual orientation will not in some way affect his or her judgment of the issue, it is only logical that this question should be clarified. It's especially true with respect to Obama. He has, after all, told us that one of his criteria for a Supreme Court Justice is knowing what it feels like to be on the wrong side of legal discrimination. Well: does he view Kagan's possible life-experience as a gay woman relevant to this? Did Obama even ask about it? Are we ever going to know one way or the other? Does she have a spouse? Is this spouse going to be forced into the background in a way no heterosexual spouse ever would be?

I’m a little curious why anyone thinks it’s relevant that she’s Jewish or gay.

Because it's all a diversion from this:

My concern when it comes to this appointment is that Kagan is a socialist who has written shockingly anti-American commentaries, one who believes in the rule of whim rather than the rule of written law.

It goes to imposition of her recreational sex behavior politics on others.

Because of HER personal sexual behavior she decided to ban military opportunity careers for those on Harvard law property.

It is no different than asking if she is a communist, socialist.

Her acceptance speech kept using the phrase “THE COLLECTIVE”.

since the collective has to endorse sexual behavior must the collective ban religion? must the second amendment now be defined as a collective right not individual?

she is a law school ivory tower creature.

these are all litmus tests that define her behavior.

And this is exactly why she has been picked by the Obama regime. Another American destructor.

[If she wants an END to “don’t ask, don’t tell” then why isn’t so also so forthcoming?]

There is a strong likelihood that she will have to render an opinion on gender bender issues. So, by any standards, it is legitimate to question her sexual orientation.

So is it better for someone to be openly gay, or gay but no one knows it?

Depends if you are a (D) or a (R)............

“According to the media, everyone is gay”

I’m not.

Though while I was in college I was told that at some point in my life I would find other men, whom I would become attracted to....that was 23 years ago.

Chaz is transgendered, but Chaz is also gay. She is a woman that likes having sex with other women. Just because she seeks to be a man does not change the fact that she is a woman that pretends to be a man and likes to have sex with women.
