As a right-wing libertarian, I rarely find myself between the posts. I have virtually nothing in common with liberals and almost no variance from conservatives. The exceptions to the latter rule, though few and far between, invariably cause me consternation. One such issue is Gay marriage. I am not opposed to gays getting "married." In fact, I think that gay marriage may actually strengthen America.
Most conservatives whom I know deplore political correctness. They are appalled at the notion that liberal professors and polites pose as mind readers. Liberals base their superiority on notions such as racism, class-consciousness and gender-identity (the latter only being negative if used by a conservative). Regardless of which, many conservatives are perfectly at home inside the gay mind. If you want to get an inkling of how it might feel when told that your lifestyle is a "choice," recall when your teacher/professor/shaman convicted you of wanting to lynch the black students on your campus. Supporting-or at least not opposing- gay marriage will strengthen America by demonstrating consistency and maturity in conservative thought.
