The Economist on gay marriage

I think today's Economist leader (at least in the UK edition) on gay marriage and the constitutional amendment is surprisingly good. Also worth reading is Oliver Kamm's take on the issue, for this:

" I am not a conservative but a liberal, and would go further. To be able to marry the person one loves and is loved by seems to me so essential to what it is to live a worthwhile life, that I regard it as a defining issue of liberal principle to press for that right."

and for the comments, where you get the whole gamut of loopyness.
