DIGRESSION: A Reader Responds
Regarding my occasional posts from First Comes Love, a reader asks:
"I am not sure what your point is here. Are you somehow holding up the cobbled together sanctuary these poor broken people have clawed out of a hostile world as a goal for gay men. Is this the kind of relationship you think would bebetter for Andrew Sullivan then marrying his boyfriend? I have to be missing your point!
Must everything have a point? I told you these people are not role models. Eros is beautiful and terrifying and dangerous and disappointing and above all greater than the neat little boxes we create to contain it. If you look closely I also think you can spot some sexual truths about relationships between men and women in the specific, tortured attempts of these two real human beings to find love together. Or not as you choose.
