REPLY TO DAVID FRUM: Michael Rappaport

University of San Diego law professor and blogger criticizes David Frum's Wall Street Journal piece opposing same-sex marriage and civil unions:

"Frum has therefore explained why he is against civil unions, he has not told us why one should be against full-fledged gay marriages. ...

"In the end, Frum's essay mixes both moral arguments (based on consequences) and political feasibility arguments. Many social conservative arguments against gay marriage rely on this same strategy, but what is politically feasible can change over time. If social conservatives are to participate in this debate, they need to articulate why they think gay marriage is a bad thing rather than merely explaining why it will not happen in the face of trends that appear to suggest just the opposite." more
