Quote of the day: Andrew Sullivan

Results from the latest Pew poll regarding marriage equality

From Andrew Sullivan's essay today on the ever-rising support for marriage equality:

"Simply put: it’s extremely hard to oppose marriage equality when you know someone who is gay. It requires you to hold a position that clearly treats the human being in front of you as inferior – or at least it sure can feel that way.

"This doesn’t mean there isn’t a reasoned, theological argument that gays should be denied equal treatment under the law. It simply means that even if you hold that principled position, you will increasingly feel like an isolated asshole with gay friends, family members and colleagues.

"And few actively want to be an asshole."
