The Witherspoon Institute -- Maggie Gallagher -- 8/23/2011
Maggie Gallagher writes a long article about marriage, gay relationsihps, children born out of wedlock. This is worth the read.
Presidential candidates for the 2012 election need to know that marriage is not only an essential issue in this race; it is a winning issue.
This shift means something: when the issue is framed as one of fairness or equality, Americans are now reluctant to disagree with gay marriage, but when it is framed as a moral or family issue, they continue to adhere strongly to traditional norms of marriage.
As Ken Blackwell recently put it, marriage is not a wedge issue but a bridge issue, creating strange bedfellow coalitions never before seen in American politics across lines of race, creed, and color.
