by CK MacLeod Posted on March 24, 2010

[L]et’s keep it simple: S. 1 and H.R. 1 for the next session (and in 2013, since Obama will presumably be able to block repeal next year) should be the one sentence repeal bill. S. 2 and H.R. 2 should … Continue reading →

The traditionalists do not just believe that the word "marriage" should be taken to refer to the union of a man and a woman, and they do not admit of a distinction between a popular or common usage and a legal one: They insist, over and over if rarely with explanation, likely under instruction by pollsters and spin-sters, that marriage is between a man and a woman.
