In a great op-ed, libertarian Steve Chapman explains how he has directly challenged many of the Religious Right types who claim gay marriage will lead to America’s moral downfall to publicly defend their claims with some sort of evidence.
You know what?
None of them will.
Why?
Probably because they can’t.
We already have evidence from Europe that gay marriage in countries that have it there hasn’t raised the divorce rate, etc.
Here in the US, we’re going to have a state-level “laboratory,” which may produce enough evidence by the time Olsen-Boies get to the Supreme Court, to bolster their argument.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
