Is There a Place for Gay People in Conservatism and Conservative Politics?

1. Of course there isn’t a place for gays/lesbians in a religiously motivated
   political ideology that advocates iron-fisted rule by their way or the
   highway.
   Make marriage a completely privatized institution, completely unrecognized
   by the state or the government, and watch most of the ado about nothing
   vanish.

2. Survey says: Cato’s answer is yes. Reality, as usual, may not agree with
   Cato.

3. I believe the issue that Andrew Sullivan failed to recognize is that states
   in the USA tend to have a monopoly on adoption licensure; he didn’t make
   the case that states *should* hold that monopoly (though his response
   seemed to imply as much), but rather he essentially claimed that if a state
   uses that monopoly power to prevent adoption agencies from discriminating
   against same sex couples that those agencies have no right to complain. Is
   this really a “conservative” position?
