		<description><![CDATA[Carolyn Castiglia writes at <a href="http://blogs.babble.com/strollerderby/2011/03/30/genetic-sexual-attraction-victims-are-big-trouble-for-gay-marriage-advocates/">Babble.com</a>: In 2008, when California first sanctioned gay marriage, many people argued that “the California Supreme Courts legal reasoning could be applied to polygamous and incestuous marriages.”  Glen Lavy of the right-wing Alliance Defense Fund wrote in the LA Times, “Although some proponents of same-sex “marriage” have been trying to distance themselves from polygamy, it is, and long has been, defended by powerful voices like the American Civil Liberties Union.” . . . No one wants to see incest supported by society, but victims of GSA need some level of sympathy.  After all, if your child was conceived using a donor embryo and he or she wishes to meet her biological parents someday, there’s a 50% chance they’ll experience some level of obsession or Genetic Sexual Attraction, too. <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/30/genetic-sexual-attraction-victims-are-big-trouble-for-gay-marriage-advocates/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["So, why do I constantly see arguments in the LGBT press extolling tolerance of us from the larger community or suggestions that we should be tolerated? What I want, and I hope the community at large wants, is acceptance. That’s right, approval and respect of my sexual orientation. Acceptance says a lot more about what we want to achieve as a movement. We want our enemies and detractors to accept that we exist, accept that our sexual orientation is not changeable, accept that we have loving relationships and accept that we too are normal . . .

		<description><![CDATA[David Bario <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/tal/PubArticleTAL.jsp?id=1202431724540&#38;Pro_Bono_Report_RecessionProof">writes at the American Lawyer on Law.com</a>: "For others, particularly on the right, the advent of the Obama era may signal a pro bono renaissance. 'When people think a president supports their values, they have a tendency to take a seat on the sidelines,' says Glen Lavy, senior counsel at the Alliance Defense Fund, a nonprofit that promotes conservative Christian causes. Last month the group held its annual litigation academy, a free week of training in exchange for a commitment from participating lawyers to devote 450 pro bono hours to one of its causes. Usually the course doesn't fill up until nearly summer. This year, Lavy says, all 100 seats were booked by February." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/30/pro-bono-report-recession-proof/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

The court went on to explain, 'We find it even more troubling that the [Manhattan] court, upon determining the statute [in favor of traditional marriage] to be unconstitutional, proceeded to rewrite it and purportedly create a new constitutional right.'

Following this decision, Glen Lavy of the Alliance Defense Fund, an Arizona legal defense group that opposes same-sex 'marriage,' insightfully pointed out that, 'marriage laws are not primarily about adult needs for official recognition and support, but about the well-being of children and society.'" <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/05/26/is-new-york%e2%80%99s-new-archbishop-anti-gay/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
