Homosexual marriages are not illogical

To the Editor: I find that I must respond to J. Mulei Nthenge's Monday editorial entitled "Gay Marriage is Illogical." Aside from the erroneous and fallacious "logic" employed by Nthenge, the sophomoric tone of the article was offensive, given the seriousness of its conclusions. As for the logic: for someone who feels "the idea of recognizing a gay marriage is myopic," Nthenge's assumption that legal recognition of marriage is necessary only "because it has the potential for children" seems stunningly limited. Gay marriages often do include children; heterosexual marriages often do not.
