G. K. Chesterton famously wrote, “The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes being corrected.”
Nowhere is Chesterton’s dictum more evident than in contemporary attitudes toward debates about marriage. The way some erstwhile conservatives talk, the marriage ship has sailed. Obergefell is the law of the land, and we must move on. There are, we are told, more pressing battles to fight. The transgender insanity is at our doorstep, and we must get past the marriage question and unite against the unholy combination of social contagion and intentional grooming that will leave thousands of vulnerable children and teenagers maimed and mutilated.
