From what I've read, Ted is a true believer. From the Daily News:
In the lawsuit, Olson and Boies argue that relegating same-sex couples to domestic partnerships instead of giving them full marriage privileges violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.Olson sought to allay suspicions from some gay advocates that he has sided with anti-gay positions in the past by declaring his unconditional support for same-sex marriage.
"These are our neighbors, co-workers, teachers, friends and family, and courtesy of Proposition 8 California now prohibits them from exercising this basic, fundamental right of humanity," Olson said.
"Whatever discrimination California law now might permit, I can assure you, the United States Constitution does not."
‘From what I’ve read, Ted is a true believer.’
Then let him follow his conscience. If he doesn’t take the case, someone else will. He believes marriage is a ‘basic, fundamental right of humanity’. However, this argument doesn’t win when it pertains to polygamy or marriage between (most kinds of) relatives. It’s pretty clear that, by law, many types of marriage are not allowed. Now’s the point where same-sex marriage will be added to that list.
