Activist Dan Savage denies that HIS totally gay marriage is the reason for the breakup of Track Palin's totally shotgun marriage.

Courtesy of America Blog:

Dan Savage gets married to his boyfriend right before Sarah Palin’s son get divorced from his wife. Clearly another heterosexual marriage destroyed by the homosexuals, if you ask me. Oh the humanity! 

Though Dan is now categorically denying that his “gay” marriage several days ago to his longtime boyfriend-in-America-husband-in-Canada Terry Miller had anything to do with splitting up the Palins (this is really from Dan, he just emailed it to John): 

“Hundreds of other same-sex couples have married in Washington state since Sunday. It’s true, of course, that every time a same-sex couple marries, a straight marriage collapses. But there’s no proof that my marriage caused the collapse of Track Palin’s marriage. It could’ve been some other couple’s marriage, or perhaps it was the collective weight of all the same-sex weddings that have been performed in Washington state since Sunday that doomed the Palins’ marriage. We are not trying to evade responsibility here—being married is all about assuming responsibility—but I feel this effort to blame us is baseless.”

While I have little doubt that all of these gay marriages will endanger hetero marriages all over the country (Because gay marriage just looks like so much more fun than boring old traditional marriage), I think Dan Savage can rest assured that HIS marriage had absolutely nothing to do with the end of this story book marriage. (And by "story book" I mean the whole thing was probably a myth.)

Instead the marriage I would blame for the end of Track's marriage is the marriage between his mother and the guy she tricked into marrying her.

Let's face it the marriage started off on the wrong foot with Sarah and Todd getting married in August 1989, and Track coming along only less than eight months later. (And I won't even go into the questions surrounding his parentage.)

Then it seems to have gone downhill fast with dozens of eye witness accounts of an uninvolved mother and a father who was off working in the oilfields almost half of ever year, who often arrived home to a house without food and piles of laundry on the floor.

The arguments that Track witnessed are legendary, and the behaviors he demonstrated in response to that turmoil is still whispered about throughout Wasilla. Essentially the kid never really stood a chance.

Apparently Palin felt that shipping him off to the military and creating a myth about his super soldier status would change him and make him more cooperative, but clearly that did not happen.

So can anybody really be surprised that THIS marriage did not survive?

Hmm, perhaps if Britta had been able to use SarahPAC funds to pay Track to stay with her she could still have the "happy" union that Sarah and Todd enjoy today. (Just thinking outside the box.)

No Mr. Savage your marriage had nothing to do with this unfortunate circumstance. In fact it could be argued that if Track had been able to grow up in the home of somebody as loving and committed as many of the gay couples getting married today, he might have turned out to be an entirely different young man altogether.
