Ideas: Gay Marriage - Pro and Con
This argument for gay marriage comes from a conservative. Originally published in the Op-Ed column of the New York Times last November.
The conservative course is not to banish gay people from making such commitments. It is to expect that they make such commitments. We shouldn't just allow gay marriage. We should insist on gay marriage. We should regard it as scandalous that two people could claim to love each other and not want to sanctify their love with marriage and fidelity.
I don't think I agree with everything he says (such as the line about becoming each other in the marriage - we have to retain some of our individuality!), but that only strengthens his point, for me.
