Just as I was writing about the importance of the right to be wrong, along comes The Daily Beast's Sally Kohn to demonstrate exactly my point with a strident anthem of illiberal liberalism. If gay marriage is "the end zone dance of the culture wars," then Kohn spikes the football. "Don't wanna marry everyone who are entitled to marry legally under the law? Then don’t run a wedding business." Her premise is that the state has unlimited license to run your life unless you make a plea for some kind of special exemption. Judging from her column, all such pleas will be shot down with the dismissive decree that "the grounds for doing so are thin."
