I also used to write about marriage law policy, encouraging traditional 
   marriage for the good of children. My institution has a morality clause in 
   all contracts.

another family values fundie now whining for empathy when she made a career out of not having it for others? Cue the world's smallest violin.

This isn't some private person who got caught up in an affair; this is a person who spent her life hurting others because of how they had sex or choices they made of which she didn't approve (not that it was ever her business), so it's awesome to have a little turnabout.
