Quote of the Day: A Conservative on Gay Marriage

Theodore Olson on gay marriage ban.

"This case is about state laws that violate personal freedoms, are unnecessary government intrusions, and cause serious harm to loving gay and lesbian couples. As a Virginian and a conservative, I believe these laws stand against the very principles of our nation’s founding."

--Theodore Olson, the lawyer for George Bush in Bush v Gore, 2000 (giving Bush the White House) and an ardent supporter and litigator of gay people's right to marry.
