Though seeing Sean Penn deliver a “best actor” Academy Awards acceptance speech that was more taunt against political enemies than expression of gratitude toward industry friends made me click off, reading Ben Shapiro’s transcription of Penn’s graceless tirade clicked on a few neurons. “I think it is a good time for those who voted against gay marriage to contemplate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren’s eyes. We need to have equal rights for everyone.”
Contra Sean Penn, and speaking as a Massachusettsan and not a Californian, I think it is a good time for those who imposed gay marriage to contemplate their great shame and the shame in their grandparents’ eyes. Liberals, perhaps out of contempt for what has come before or an agnosticism in the afterlife, don’t care or think about how they appear to the past. The imaginary future, where Sean Penn’s every view is conventional wisdom, instead serves as the anchor of their morality.
