The Human Rights Campaign keeps track of gay-friendly companies and has consistently given UPS a score of 100%. UPS has even bragged about the score. The Human Rights Campaign frequently calls people "haters" and "bigots" if they believe marriage should only consist of one man and one woman.

By contrast, unmarried men voted for Obama by 56% to 48%, and unmarried women by more than 2-1.

Therefore, if conservatives want to win next time, they need to ask their churches to do a better job preparing couples for marriage, enriching existing ones and saving those in trouble.

Conservatives are church members, therefore their voice can be heard.

The agenda for the next few years should be to restore marriage in America. Consider three steps.

The principles in play are clear enough. Unlike the Republicans, the Obama Presidency is energetically pro-choice, believing, on the face of it, that a woman should have freedom over her body. But look where this "freedom" leads, right up to and including killing your unborn child. This isn't freedom in the Christian sense, which is the liberty to choose the good, but something altogether different, a radical personal autonomy unhindered by even the most basic tenets of conscience.

With the marriage amendment on the Minnesota ballot, and with a growing list of personal questions in my Moleskine notebook, I contacted Dr. Robert Gagnon, a professor of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and a man who has for many years bravely addressed homosexuality from a biblical and theological perspective.
