Some marriage revisionists think it's now politically safe to tell the truth
Confident that they have now secured their victory in both law and public opinion, marriage revisionists are increasingly willing to admit that key arguments made by their opponents--arguments they were themselves until recently ridiculing and even denouncing as "scare mongering"--were right all along. Evidently, they think that honesty and candor about the logical implications and future legal consequences of redefining marriage are now politically safe. The latest example is Kent Greenfield, a Boston College law professor and supporter of marriage revisionism, writing in no less mainstream and respected a journal of left-liberal opinion than The American Prospect. Here are his opening sentences:
"It’s been a few weeks since the victories in the marriage cases at the Supreme Court, and maybe it’s time for the political left to own up to something. You know those opponents of marriage equality who said government approval of same-sex marriage might erode bans on polygamous and incestuous marriages? They’re right."
