I am happy to be among the original signatories of a new manifesto, "Marriage Opportunity: The Moment for National Action."
The manifesto calls for the same pro-marriage position that I have been arguing in this blog for a decade.
What is new is that this statement supports same-sex marriage as good for the marriage movement.
I believe this is a centrist position.
The signatories, fellow members of the Marriage Opportunity Council, are from the left, right, and center on a number of issues. The group includes people who previously opposed same-sex marriage, and those who have previously thought marriage an objectionable institution on the grounds that it was heterosexist or patriarchal or simply outmoded. We come together on this statement now.
I hope, and expect, that this position will soon be the norm in the middle of political discussion.
