Burke and Gay Marriage
I strongly recommend this post by Volokh Conspiracy guest blogger Dale Carpenter on a Burkean argument in favor of gay marriage. Not only do I agree with the ultimate outcome, but I also think it's a very persuasive argument that both conservatives and liberals can agree on. He's not advocating gay marriage by judicial fiat, but rather trying to persuade those people, who mostly characterize themselves as "conservative," that their principles may not necessarily be violated by supporting such a policy change. Read the post, as I'm interested to see what you all, especially our resident Burkean expert Paul, have to say.
