A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Andrew Walker explains why, twenty years on, same-sex “marriage” is still not right in World Opinions: “No, it’s still not right.”

This, by Mary Harrington, is excellent: “Under the Digital Eye of Sauron.” As a church-going married guy surrounded by many happily married church-going couples with kids, the “trad marriage” discourse on the internet looks utterly foreign to me. All of the wrong things are being obsessed over; very little of it has anything to do with the “lived experience” of actually having a good marriage within a subculture that promotes marriage. Most of what the Red Pill/Pearl Davis shtick presents is a sort of version of “Christian marriage” if the people married weren’t Christian.

This is incredibly grim and dystopian: “BC Government expropriates property from Catholic hospital to build a killing center.”

This is worth a read: “Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things.”

Ayaan Hirsi Ali explains why the election of Geert Wilders brings hope to the Netherlands.
