Over the years The American Conservative has made occasional appearances on the “diavlog” site Bloggingheads (see Michael Brendan Dougherty, Noah Millman, Rod Dreher, and Daniel McCarthy). The site’s new series “The Good Fight” convenes thinkers from right and left for conversations about politics and ideas. TAC will be taking part, and in the spirit of civil yet spirited discourse, we’ll highlight segments from the series over the next several months.
In the debut installment, Daniel Foster and Amy Sullivan put the campaign for marriage equality in perspective:
On that note, Dan McCarthy recently explained why the right can’t win the gay marriage fight (Dreher’s response here). Millman’s Burkean case for gay marriage here.

again folks; this IS NOT a 1st Amendment issue, it is a 14th Amendment (“equal protection of the law…” issue. with no due respect to Dan Cathy; Christians of his ilk are exposing themselves to the “judgment” of the Courts, and they are “shaking their fists” at the Constitution. a group of Americans seeking to enjoy the same “equal protection of the law” enjoyed by others IS NOT a challenge to the 1st Amendment protection of Dan Cathay. if the State (IRS, etc.) recognizes/endorses heterosexual marriage via the provisions of certain rights, tax benefits, etc.; it MUST recognize the same for same-sex couples.
