Contrary to what some people (like those predicting the vote count in the New York Senate this morning) seem to think, same-sex marriage is not a “no brainer.” The very notion cuts against the deeply rooted sense of most people that marriage is about something more than adult desires. That sense, I believe, is at the root of the continuing series of no votes on same-sex marriage in the states where there’s been a popular election, in a number of court decisions (New York, Maryland, Washington), and now in the New York Senate.
