Do you sodomize your wife?
That was the question that a gay NYU student posed to Justice Scalia sometime in September of 2005. Scalia refused to answer. The conservatives rejoiced that a gay person committed such an outrage that their bigotry now had some basis. The liberals thought the questioner was acting improperly, thereby hurting his own cause. In fact, everyone had an opinion about Eric Brandt's question to a mighty Justice.
Here, Eric Brandt addresses those opinions and explains his question. I respect Brandt for the maturity and clarity with which he writes that piece.
