| | Opposing the unmitigated expansion of government regulation is one of the core values that defines the conservative movement; so is the protection of the constitution. Supporting gay marriage both promulgates minimal legislation and observes the letter of the first amendment to the constitution. Therefore, support of gay marriage should, in fact, be a conservative position. --[[User:RudrickBoucher|RudrickBoucher]] 18:56, 21 September 2011 (EDT) | | Opposing the unmitigated expansion of government regulation is one of the core values that defines the conservative movement; so is the protection of the constitution.

| | + | ::Fine, but that's completely irrelevant to what he's saying, which is that conservatives should support gay marriage because the Constitution requires it.

The issue seems to be what is more important: the Constitution or the Bible. It's a tricky one. --[[User:FindlayT|FindlayT]] 19:10, 21 September 2011 (EDT) |
