Few things make me shudder quite like hearing someone use the phrase “traditional marriage” unironically.

This is one of those tiny but telling things. Katherine Timpf is a reporter for National Review Online. She’s a Millennial, a Hillsdale grad, and has published lots of things in right-of-center publications. And she’s a libertarian.

One is not at all surprised to find libertarians, especially libertarians in their twenties, supporting same-sex marriage. Nor is one surprised to find libertarians working at National Review. What I find startling, but a sign of the times, is that a National Review writer not only doesn’t support traditional marriage, but finds the term and concept viscerally disgusting.

A small thing, but a big thing too.

History is running right over the people standing athwart it yelling, “Stop!”

UPDATE: Understand, I’m not complaining, just observing.
