'Unhinged' is the Word I Was Looking For
Matthew Yglesias hooked me up with this one. It seems Stanley Kurtz has written that gay marriage in the Netherlands has, in fact, destabilized Dutch marriage, and cites in evidence a dramatic increase in the number of out-of-wedlock births there. Yglesias:Take a look at his own chart regarding out of wedlock births in the Netherlands and you'll see how unhinged Stanley Kurtz is. Obviously the purported decline of marriage in the Netherlands (and Scandinavia) was in no sense caused by the advent of legal recognition of gay unions.In fact, the chart seems to suggest that the real cause of the increase in same-sex marriages was the election of Ronald Reagan. Which makes sense, if you think about it.
