Andrew Sullivan has done for homosexuality what John Stuart Mill did for freedom


Andrew Sullivan (@sulldish) began writing and campaigning for marriage equality in 1988 as an important moral argument. Kenneth Minogue produced a review of Andrew Sullivan's seminal publication, Virtually Normal (1995) in The National Review, he said:
"Andrew Sullivan has done for homosexuality what John Stuart Mill did for freedom: he has presented the whole range of social opinion about his subject with lucidity and fairness, and gone to work refuting most of it... Only those familiar with the deep wells of the history of political philosophy... will recognize the scale of his achievement."
