It’S Not All About Homosexuality

In my NRO piece today, I explain why I think we need to accept many of the liberalizing changes in marriage and sexuality since the sixties. Yet I also draw lines against too many more such changes. My key example involves heterosexuals, not homosexuals. I accept the post-sixties practice of premarital cohabitation, but I don’t want to see the government grant cohabitation legal recognition (as is now being proposed). I have the same mixture of positions on the question of homosexuality. I oppose sodomy laws and favor our post-sixties shift toward tolerance for homosexuality, but I also oppose gay marriage.
