The Romances of Ayala Amar

It seems a lot of people around the world want marriage between gays banned. Maybe for everyone's safety it would be best if all marriages were banned. Check out this tale and link from Allison Kaplan Sommer (who, in her brief post, doesn't even mention that among those attending the ceremony was the president of Israel).

So somehow it's less unseemly to kidnap your sister and her 17 year old internet boyfriend, beat him up, threaten to kill him, and publicly marry your teenage sister off to some guy in his mid twenties and have a ethnic brawl at the ceremony than for her to have an unknown - to the outside world at least - internet romance with another kid.

Isn't patriarchy grand! Nothing is more offensive than a young woman thinking she has control over her own life.
