Oh, they’ll find a way to spin it, Dave.Report
I continue to has mixed feelings about the gay marriage issue, but I am happy to see it the result of legislative, and not judicial, decision-making, for sure.
Nonetheless, someone probably will find a way to spin it, indeed, Erik.Report
The Corner actually has a remarkably similar post up as Dave’s.
And look, I understand the mixed feelings on this issue especially from well-meaning Christians who have honest reservations about this sort of change. Some people are less honest about it, and are using it as a political weapon, but many are just not sure about this drastic of a move. I wasn’t at first. I’ve had a change of heart, which has largely been due to my own personal relationship with members of my family who are gay (and the fact that many of my wife’s good friends happen to be gay) and these sorts of personal experiences can change how we view the world.
I just think this is one area especially where the culture wars are failing to produce anything but division.Report
Nathan,
I understand the mixed feelings as well. Personally, if people could just live and let live, we could save ourselves a whole lot of trouble. Unfortuneately, that’s wishful thinking.Report
