David French: I was wrong about marriage

By Alliance Alert

ADF Attorney David French writing at speakupmovement.org/university: "For some time after the Massachusetts decision, I supported legalizing same-sex marriage ? or, to be more precise, I did not oppose its legalization. Why? I can basically sum it up in one sentence. I have a strong libertarian streak and was completely fed up with the cavalier way in which the Christian community treated its own marriage vows. But I was wrong. No, I wasn?t wrong that Christians have their own marriage problem. That much is obvious. I was wrong in believing that there was essentially 'no harm, no foul' legally or culturally in recognizing 'gay marriage.' I was wrong to believe that the proper response to the damage to done to the institution of marriage was to essentially throw our hands up and allow even further damage. And I was definitely wrong to believe that legalizing same-sex marriage ? as a practical matter ? is a libertarian decision in the real world."
