Only The Right Kind Of Symbolic Sex Wednesday, 08/05/09
Andrew Sullivan

Beneath the elegant philosophical language is a blunter message to George's gay fellow human beings: be straight or go away. And since when is that a practical option in the 21st century?

I repeat to conservatives: we know what you're against, in healthcare, energy, counter-terrorism, taxation, gay rights, abortion. What are you actually for? How do you intend to actually address the questions of our time and place? And if conservatism cannot do that, what use is it?

Who Filed The DOMA Brief? Sunday, 06/14/09
Andrew Sullivan

So who signed off on this brief? Who is responsible for this mess? Or are gays that low a priority for DOJ?

Insult To Injury Sunday, 06/14/09
Andrew Sullivan

They could have argued for a narrow ruling or kept the "reasonable" arguments to a minimum. What they did - without any heads up to any of their gay supporters and allies - is unconscionable. Citing incest precedents? Calling gay couples free-loaders? Arguing that our civil rights are not impinged because we can marry someone of the opposite sex? Who on earth decided that that was a great idea? Marc is right that this will be simply incomprehensible to most gay people. To have unloaded it after refusing to do anything on DADT, after failing to lift the HIV travel ban, after punting on even pure symbolism like hate crimes - well, it's no way to treat those who worked their butts off to elect you, as all the major groups have now said.

The Fierce Urgency Of Whenever Thursday, 05/14/09
Andrew Sullivan

But I have a sickeningly familiar feeling in my stomach, and the feeling deepens with every interaction with the Obama team on these issues. They want them to go away. They want us to go away.

The Tipping Point Monday, 05/04/09
Andrew Sullivan

Hi Stop8.org readers,
This is Matt writing to you again. I just wanted to point you to this post of Andrew Sullivan's. He mentions an article in the San Francisco Appeal that I already posted about here on Stop8; but I'm posting about it again because I'm the person who wrote the article for the Appeal, and I'm just so delighted that Mr. Sullivan liked it enough to mention it. Yay!
And let me urge you: KEEP HAVING CONVERSATIONS. Each conversation is a little victory-machine. Tell everyone -- EVERYONE -- why the freedom to marry is so personally important to you.
Keep up all the hard work everybody!
Yours,
Matt

Prop 8 Oral Argument Reax Thursday, 03/05/09
Andrew Sullivan

If I had to guess, I'd say that those married between June and November 4, 2008 will still be married. Going forward, forget it. It's time to dive back into the political process.

Calling The Christianist Bluff Thursday, 02/19/09
Andrew Sullivan

It's not about protecting marriage; it's about treating gay citizens and their relationships with contempt. At least Equality Utah has now proven that. And that is indeed a useful and clarifying thing.

The Truth About Marriage's History Thursday, 01/08/09
Andrew Sullivan

Why do social conservatives not want to encourage stability, responsibility and commitment among gay Americans? What real policy do they have for gay Americans at all?

Backlashlash? Monday, 12/01/08
Andrew Sullivan

Dale Carpenter thinks Prop 8's passage is stalling the momentum of marriage equality in New York and DC. There will, almost certainly, be a pause. But I don't see this as fatal or even that troubling.
