Change.org Takes A Broader Look At Marriage Equality’s “Inevitability.”
Today, in “Same-Sex Marriage is Still Inevitable,” Michael A. Jones, a writer I respect immensely, looks at recent marriage equality news, including the “inevitability” meme that I examined in “Maggie Gallagher: Conservatives Have More Babies To Try To Destroy Inevitability Of Gay Marriage.” (Jones also comments on that very piece. Thanks, Michael!)
Jones also looks at the Politico piece penned by Ben Smith that re-invigorated the inevitability issue, looks at Adam Bink’s Open Left piece, and closes with this:
“Losing marriage equality battles sure sucks. But keep it in perspective — losses in California, Maine and New York aren’t enough to beat back the victories in four other states this year (and likely the District of Columbia in early 2010). Marriage equality is still inevitable, even if the wave of victories in 2009 didn’t quite turn into an avalanche.”
