Last night, my brother sent me a fascinating post on gay marriage from a libertarian point of view.
Linky!
It takes some really solid historical points and weaves them into... well, not an anti-gay marriage post, that's for sure. In fact, the author is quick to point out that they have no opinion on gay marriage, and is pretty sure this article will convince no one anywhere of anything they didn't already believe. But it was an excellent read, and something to consider moving forward.
Article 2 was written by a gay man who is against gay marriage, though he supports civil unions. Before anyone claims that I'm just saying, "LOOKY HERE, IT'S A GAY MAN WHO OPPOSES GAY MARRIAGE! HE MUST BE RIGHT!", um, no. I'm not. He brings a really interesting perspective to the conversation, one that he is uniquely qualified to bring because he's seen both sides of the issue. Naturally, his experience (and those people whom he talks about) aren't universal experiences, but they *are* valid experiences.
Both good reads. Enjoy.
Current mood: intrigued
