April 19, 2013 – 3:00 pm

April 18, 2013 – 1:15 pm
Writing at the FirstThings blog, Professor Robert P. George reports the on an increasing trend of same-sex marriage activists “conceding (and celebrating the fact) that redefining marriage will fundamentally alter the institution, transform its social role and meaning, and undermine its structuring norms of monogamy, exclusivity, etc.” George quotes on such activist, Mesha Gessen, who spoke recently on a […]

LATimes Defends the Boy Scouts
April 17, 2013 – 9:00 am
The Los Angeles Times is obviously no fan of the Boy Scouts of America’s policy — but they are even less a fan of punitive laws meant to single out one organization for views that politicians dislike: “The Boy Scouts’ long-standing refusal to admit gay members is deplorable and offensive. But it’s also legal. Just […]
Slate Author Calls for Polygamy as Necessary Next Step After Gay Marriage
April 16, 2013 – 11:30 am
A author for Slate argues without reservation that the same logic behind SSM means marriage must ultimately be redefined to included polygamy — is it still a slippery slope argument when proponents of SSM agree with you?
