The Commitment Campaign

“A group of high-profile Democrats and Republicans who back legalizing gay marriage are calling on advocates to shift the focus on the issue from an argument about equal rights to promoting the value of commitment,” USA Today reports.

Makes sense. What is marriage if not commitment? Personally, I think equal rights under the law is a stronger argument, but if more people think commitment is a better one, whom am I to argue?

(By the way, in my utopia, the state has no marriage law but makes sure legal commitment contracts are upheld.)
