Maggie Gallagher recounts her causal conversation with a college student whose parents are divorced and who doesn't see the problem with same-sex marriage:

"What about you?" I asked him. "Do you think you'll matter to your kids?"

"No," he said. "Not really."

Wait...so his kids won't love him because he supports same-sex marriage? My parents are liberals, and I love them more than anything in the world. Why would your poltiical or religious beleifs matter to your children?
