I have always thought that extending marriage to cover same-sex marriages was at its heart a conservative policy. Generally speaking, to embrace marriage and all its attendant encumbrances (fidelity, perhaps children, responsibility for another person etc) is to embrace a traditional, conservative way of life.

I hadn't thought of it this way, but it makes sense. Binding relationships together with expensive legal barriers to breaking up; drafting private parties to guarantee the social welfare of youth. Marriage: The Original Unfunded Mandate.
Conservatives should love gay marriage for the same reason your firm spooges all over itself when you buy a house.
