OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS: Douglas LeBlanc

...These are some open-ended questions about gay marriage that I hope some journalists will explore -- if not with presidential candidates, then with other important figures in the gay-marriage debate:

Some clergy and journalist Michael Kinsley have proposed separating civil marriage from marriage as a religious rite. How well do you think such an approach would work in the United States?

What is the state's interest, if any, in preserving a definition of marriage as involving a man and a woman?

Jon Meacham of Newsweek has said, "We have changed the definition of marriage before, and so we can change it again." For what philosophical reasons do you oppose redefining marriage to incorporate gay and lesbian couples?

In what ways might our culture address gay marriage without turning it into a decades-long battle in the culture wars?
