Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

    ...said "What the hell," and voted yes. The gay couples I know behave as the Jonathan Rauch's of the world said they would. So I gave up.

        @charlesmurray always err on the side of equal rights. Anything less would betray American principles. You made the right choice.

        @gershonmarx How minds are changed: people compare their ideology to the world, and see the ideology is wrong. I applaud him.

        @petersagal right, as do I, but replace "gay" with "Jewish" and see how it feels. It's terrifying to have rights voted on.

        @JohnRLottJr @charlesmurray not theoretical, no difference in divorce rate btw gay and straight marriages. Also can adopt.

        @charlesmurray When its easier to get out of a marriage than a cell phone contract, gay versus straight marriage is not the problem.
