No gay marriage is about the right of the Individual to define and control their own "personal" life.
Kinda goes down the route of the core Conservative principle, doesn't it?
No, that's fundamentally a liberal principle. Conservatism is about preserving traditional institutions and authority, and upholding the moral standards of society.
The latter point being why I support gay marriage. Homosexuals should not be prohibited from engaging in morally correct behaviors such as marrying and raising children; they have the same moral obligations to do so as anyone else.
