The RP: The Article that Started It All

In recent years, I have been growing increasingly frustrated with the “Daily Dish” blogger, Andrew Sullivan.

His columns have become increasingly petty and personal — witness his never ending personal attack campaign against Sarah Palin.  I’m not crazy about her either, but Sullivan obsessive treatment of Palin’s personal life and that of her children often crosses the line of decency.

I’m also quite disturbed at how the former Zionist has become one of the loudest, shrillest voices against the Jewish State.

BUT, I will never forget his passionate, influential, decades-long leadership on the issue of marriage equality.  In fact, it was his 1989 New Republic cover story that introduced me — and many others — to the idea itself, helping launch it into the public arena.  Sullivan will be long remembered as a forefather of the marriage equality movement.
