Response to College Conservative Column on Marriage
A recent column by Angela Morabito in the College Conservative asserted that it is possible to support “marriage equality”—allowing same-sex couples to marry—without supporting same-sex marriage. This assertion was made on the grounds that Americans should be able to give people liberty without supporting what they do with that liberty.
We propose that the author’s arguments, however, are shortsighted for one reason: There is a proper role for government in society, and defining marriage falls right into the middle of it.
