p> HE'S NOT FOR ME br> Re: Elihu Yale's Gay Marriage, Hollywood-Style : /p> p>Reading Elihu Yale's scenario of life and gay marriage in Hollywood, I have to agree that it's likely enough. But is it an argument AGAINST gay marriage? Surely Hollywood Gays have the same right to wreck their lives with injudicious marriages that Heterosexual Hollywood has enjoyed for more than a century? Or, to look at it another way, what have the Hollywood gays ever done for us that we should exempt them from their obligation to entertain us in divorce court? br> -- C. S. P. Schofield /p>

Re: Elihu Yale's "Gay Marriage, Hollywood Style," we see the author's point. "Thanks" for the screenplay. Now, what I can't understand is why the Spectator would print a bit of fiction when well-written non-fiction would have served the point better, in fewer words, with less turbulence to the stomach.

p>We all have imaginations. Homosexuality is viewed as it is, and rightly marginalized, by a majority of Americans precisely because the thought of Todd's "getting it" from Gary is an appalling one. And I will go out on a limb and say that most of your readers are smart enough not to need somebody's imagined details fleshed out for them. br> -- Jeffrey S. Erickson br> Davidson, NC
