His colleague Ted Olson got the parenting quote the other day. Now it’s David Boies’ turn, in an interview he and Olson did with Rachel Maddow (my bold):
There are three basic points that we want to make. One is that marriage is a fundamental right. Nobody can really disagree with that. The second is that gay and lesbian couples are seriously harmed when they are deprived of that right. It harms them, it harms the children that they’re raising and that they want to raise. . . . The third point is that allowing them to be married doesn’t hurt anybody.
The interview is worth watching in full, if only because of Maddow’s interesting reminder of the conservative roots of marriage equality.
