Obama's endorsement of the right of gays
to marry is a consequential watershed in the discourse that shapes our
moral conceptions. The narrow framing of human agency and free choice by
religion is authoritarian and certainly old fashioned.
We must all learn to let go and recognize that we cannot define and
police morality, especially sexual preferences of other adults. The same
arguments that are so often peddled against gays are similar to those
that we privileged to criminalize black and white heterosexual marriages
in the 19th and 20th century.
As they say we learn from history that we
learn nothing from history.
