JEFF JACOBY'S comments about equal marriage in California are predicated on a falsehood, namely that his understanding of marriage is "timeless." What is undoubtedly timeless about human beings is that we change. As I see it, precisely because human beings change throughout our lives, those of us who marry choose to marry the one we love because we want to grow and change with that person. Marriage then becomes a vessel of that transformation.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual people tend to know a thing or two about change and others' reaction to it.
