Of course Marriage Equality is awesome, and the arguments against it are bullshit, but here is precisely why patiently explained by a gay philosopher who recently spent quite a bit of time hanging out with NOM’s co-founder, Maggie Gallagher.
Corvino, also known as “The Gay Moralist” (for his longtime column of the same name), is chair of the Philosophy Department at Wayne State University in Detroit. He has spoken at over 200 university campuses on ethics, sexuality, and marriage. “My goal is to promote a more thoughtful conversation on these issues,” he says. “Moral concerns should be conversation-starters, not conversation-stoppers.”
Is Homosexuality Unnatural?
If Gay Marriage, Why Not Polygamy?
Do Children Need a Mother and Father?

Is Gay Marriage a Threat to Religious Freedom?
Why Marriage? (Why not Civil Unions?)
Are People Who Oppose Gay Marriage Bigots?
Is Homosexuality Unnatural?

I'm absurdly (and undeservedly) proud of the fact that he's from Wayne State. I just told my son to go sign up for one of his classes next semester (but they probably have a ridiculously long waiting list).

This looks like a good post (at least the links I've looked at so far), but the editorializing framework rubs me the wrong way, even though I agree with it. It seems like an easy change, but it should be changed.
