  Going Dutch?
De Gay Krant's history of the gay marriage movement makes no mention of what in America is called the "conservative case" for same-sex marriage--the argument that gay marriage will encourage gay monogamy and strengthen the unique appeal and status of marriage for all.
Necessarily, Schutte emphasized, gays would be trendsetters in removing the connection between marriage and parenthood, thereby pushing society toward a more flexible conception of relationships (which, she said, could include three- and foursomes).
All participants in the debate--the gay community as well as the political left, center, and right--took gay marriage to signify the replacement of marriage by a flexible and morally neutral range of relationship options.

De Gay Krant stimulated public debate at the time with a range of interviews in which experts also stressed that gay and lesbian people could be excellent educators.

 In Netherlands, slow road advised for gay marriage - The Boston Globe
Krol, who has met with leaders of the gay community in Massachusetts in recent years and is heading to South America to lobby there, says he believes gay communities must find ways to put the issue on the national agenda, but must also be careful not to push too fast and alienate people.
In discussions with gay friends, "they convinced me that everyone should have the same right to take part in marriage, that they have the right to take part in something that is not just a legal contract, but something holy," he said.
"Approving gay marriage does not mean the beginning of Sodom and Gomorrah," said Fassen, who grew up Catholic and still feels an emotional attachment to her faith even though she disagrees with the church's stand on many issues, especially same-sex marriage.
