Today’s most important acronym expands and contracts like an accordion with seemingly no rhyme or reason. From LGBT, the inclusive train of letters has now swelled to LGBTTQQIAAP2S.

Gay Marriage and Religious Freedom

by R. R. Reno

A great deal is at stake. The sexual revolution is just that, a revolution, and revolutions often pose a dire threat to liberty.
