Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo) in an ad supporting same-sex marriage

By Richard K. Barry

If you haven't seen this, it's worth a look. Huffington Post calls it the Republican case for same-sex marriage. Seems like a pretty compelling case to me, however you want to describe it.

Last month, Simpson joined a group of Republicans in filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the 10th Circuit in support of the freedom to marry. The 10th Circuit took up the issue after federal judges in Utah and Oklahoma struck down the states' constitutional bans on marriage equality.

Some social conservatives are clearly going to fight this to the end, as we can see by Mike Hukabee's recent idiotic comments, but it's over.
