“I don't think there's any conflict between feeling that all people deserve respect and tolerance and that discrimination is wrong and a belief that marriage is between a man and a woman”   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Romney would do us all a service if he could get us to a point where a statement like that (which he made to Boston reporters Monday, echoing his interview with NRO last week, and comments he’s made on other occasions ) does not make news because it is a given. To take us to a place where those who support protecting traditional marriage are not easily and routinely dismissed in polite society as homophobic would be a great milestone for civil society.
