Since you didn't respond to my question right away the first time and I didn't come back to check on it a few days later, I missed it. Thanks David.

I was paid to do some writing for marriagedebate.com in early 2004. Since then I have not received money from NOM or Maggie for anything I have written, although I would gladly take their money should it become available. Anything else, just ask. Fannie-

I have my suspicions and would very much like him to address this issue. Does anyone know if he’s ever admitted or denied being compensated for his writings by NOM or Maggie Gallagher?

Shame. I hate it when someone’s so cute on the outside but ruins it by being so ugly on the inside. Shame.

If the newspaper editorial staff is incapable of properly vetting submissions (or if anyone can claim to be anything and the newspaper accepts it as gospel), then they need some education - and some remedial journalism training.

He wanted to leave the community that (in his eyes) must have done something really, really, bad to him - but rather than saying "I'm swearing off men," he said "I'm embarking on this noble journey where I'm denying my sexuality for the sake of my G-d given path." But his writing reveals his true motives. He can't hide behind his special cloak of Jewish Orthodox self-righteousness. I have a feeling that many Orthodox Jews might find him insufferable.
