Gov. Lynch is correct when he says the civil-unions law passed last year guarantees the rights of homosexual couples. This issue is not about establishing "equal rights'' for a minority. It is about protecting the human species by recognizing and honoring that special compact.

Goodness! Just the thought makes me want to retreat into my hovel and let the womenfolk fend for themselves.
