No, It’s Still Not Right

Twenty years later, you still cannot redefine marriage

Andrew T. Walker, World

Depending on your age, same-sex “marriage” may be as quintessentially American as baseball and apple pie at this point. That was what I came away with after reading Molly Ball’s Wall Street Journal report on how same-sex nuptials have transformed the American landscape. In her telling, the transformation has been a stunning success, winning wide cultural approval. As Ball tells it, the effects have been commonplace as gay couples have largely conformed themselves to the otherwise humdrum and bucolic trappings of other ordinary marriages. One expert interviewed noted that “overall, the fears of opponents of same-sex marriage simply have not come to pass.”


As an opponent of same-sex marriage dating back to over a decade now, I beg to differ.

The Ethics and Public Policy Center is excited to present our 2023 annual report. As you’ll see, EPPC is flourishing, and our efforts to bring about renewal in American public life are bearing good fruit.
