A Conservative’s Road to Same-Sex Marriage Advocacy

This article is perhaps the best recent story of how a conservative thinker and advocate has come to understand gay marriage as a civil rights issue.

I am one of those conservatives that "gravitate[s] toward a particularly Western brand of conservatism that value[s] small government and maximum individual liberty" -- like Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan and McCain.

I also believe that "religious beliefs [are] insufficient legal justification for government to refuse to recognize same-sex marriage."

Here's to hoping.
