Gilligan's Island Game Theory and Gay Marriage

As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments today in a case about the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which was a pro-active attempt to squelch same-sex marriage, Iowahawk offers up three reasons to support marriage equality:

First, I'm against restrictions on adults entering into voluntary contracts. Second, I see no reason why broadening the definition of marriage to same-sex couples devalues or diminishes mine. Finally, there's the purely utilitarian Gilligan's Island effect: if Skipper and Professor decide to wed in a tasteful lagoon-side ceremony, I've got Ginger and Mary Ann to myself at the wedding luau. And if it's Mary Ann and Ginger hooking up, well… I'll be in my bunk.

Read the whole thing over at Breitbart.

And for god's sake, follow Iowahawk (Dave Buerge) on Twitter; his feed is one of the best.
