For the most part, I tend to take a lot of what Andrew Sullivan says with a grain of salt. In the past, as a former repubican, I have found his conservatism forced; and as a Protestant, have found his theology riddled with contradictions he simply chooses to ignore.

During his speech and Q&A at Princeton University recently, Sullivan says a few things on the subject of theology that I might take issue with. But his response to a questioner on the nature of marriage itself, and how the idea of same sex marriage is completely in tune with the basic and most fundamental message of Christianity, was quite simply brilliant...
