Can Conservatism Make Room for Gays?

Andrew Sullivan, Maggie Gallagher and British MP Nick Herbert debate the role of gays in conservative politics at the Cato Institute

by Sean Bugg and Aram Vartian

Cato Institute Executive Vice President David Boaz moderates a Feb. 17 forum, Is There a Place for Gay People in Conservatism and Conservative Politics, with Atlantic blogger Andrew Sullivan; National Organization for Marriage president Maggie Gallagher; and U.K. Shadow Secretary of State Nick Herbert, MP.

The forum set off a number of fireworks between anti-marriage equality activist Gallagher and Sullivan, especially over the impact of same-sex marriage laws and religious-based adoption services.

@ryandward That fatass wants the government to say what is natural and healthy right? Then she should not be able to wear glasses because they're unnatural and her body composition is unhealthy, so she should lose civil liberties until she complies with what the government demands of her as a natural, healthy human-being.

On 6/24/11 the New York Senate approved same-sex marriage with the help of Republican votes, this demonstrates that Republicans are becoming divided because their intolerance goes against the modern day American culture of tolerance and acceptance.

If conservatives claim to support the US constitution, then they are supporting a document that upholds secular law, not laws based on religious beliefs. The problem is I think people think that religion has greater authority than government.
