Former Opponent Invites Gays To The Wedding Party
Question: How do you know when the fight for marriage equality for gays and lesbians is about to be won?
Answer: When one of your former foes invites you to the table to discuss the future of marriage.
That’s what David Blankenhorn is doing. You remember Blankenhorn—he was one of the star witnesses defending Proposition 8 in California. In the trial, he argued that marriage should be between a man and a woman. His argument, he said, was not based in religion, but in anthropology. He also brought out the old saw that marriage was primarily for procreation.
He angered the anti-marriage equality camp when he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times reversing his opinion.
