The Marriage Issue: Nathaniel Frank does a good job of knocking down the social "science" (the scare quotes are almost unnecessary in this oxymoron) the right uses to argue against gay marriage. This kind of stuff needs to be said, particularly when otherwise thoughtful scholars (like Stanley Kurtz, whom Frank cites) go entirely nuts on this issue. Kurtz shouldn't need to be told that he's making mistakes a Sociology 101 TA would snicker at.
