Via Towleroad, check out Ted Olson's conservative case for marriage equality. It's quite persuasive. This comes as the Olson-Boies case goes to trial today—the case should take about two weeks, and there is every reason to believe our side will win...and that it will then be appealed to the Supreme Court for what could potentially be a sweeping decision on the issue.
I think instead of appealing to the liberal or the conservative case for marriage equality, we'd do even better to adjust our talking points to the Libertarian case—keep the G.D. government out of our private lives! Of course, the full Libertarian case would then go on to argue that no "marriages" should be the bailiwick of the feds, but I just think the argument "even if I don't agree with it, it's a free country" would resonate with the broadest possible number of people.
