*Allow?!?! And just who gets to decide that? YOU? The government?
The real question is, "What are YOU doing on FR supporting gay marriage and nanny-statism?"

Thanks, mm!!
This article and discussion covers a lot of ground. Will get back to the discussion in a bit.
I will point out that many libertarians, generally considered to be conservatives, feel that marriage of any sort is none of the government's business. They believe the government should stay out of it and leave it to churches, synagogues, mosques, whatever... Since there are churches and synagogues which perform same-sex marriages they wouldn't object to that.
If marriage is a holy sacrament, is that really the business of government?
Food for thought...
*Allow?!?! And just who gets to decide that? YOU? The government?It works both ways. Now I can turn around and ask you, why *shouldn't* gay couples be allowed to be parents? If you say no, then I can call you a nanny stater etc... The issue is far more complicated than what passes for modern conservatism gives it credit for and boils down to "how do you create a real, wholesome society in a world where the conventional rules don't work anymore?"The real question is, "What are YOU doing on FR supporting gay marriage and nanny-statism?"
Being conservative is more than reciting talking points and getting angry about homos. Liberalism avoids the issue entirely by saying that all social organizations are equal. Conservatism tries to make it tractable by going after little, easily digestible parts of social decline but ignoring the greater, far more complicated and destructive big picture.
