For me, at the time, he was a complete unknown. <br /><br />If I recall correctly, Sullivan made the case for marriage and military service. He put these ahead of non-discrimination in housing and employment. <br /><br />This was the first time I had seen a serious argument for same-sex marriage by someone other than my cousin, and her argument for same-sex marriage was pretty lame, even though I supported same-sex marriage. <br /><br />I was amazed. Not so much at the audacity of the proposal, but at the way he presented his defense of the proposal. Sullivan brought so much passion to the big round table. It was if he had prepared for the worst of a British university debate.Peter Hohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916196998855947137noreply@blogger.com
