I'm embarrassed to have only days ago cited Tom McClintock as an example of a non-Libertarian candidate that the LP should allow itself to endorse. In the absence of any support for equal partnership rights for non-heterosexual unions, his statement on Prop 8 is below is shameful.
Prop. 8 Defense of Marriage Act. YES: Marriage is a unique institution in which a man and a woman summon a child into the world – creating a unique tapestry of responsibilities. Our marriage laws are designed to support those responsibilities and are simply inapplicable to any other kind of relationship. Lincoln asked, “If you call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog? The answer is four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it one.” And calling a homosexual partnership a marriage doesn’t make it one.
These opinions warrantied for the lifetime of your brain.
