Scott Stantis Changes Mind On Same-Sex Marriage; Sends Contextual Information With New Cartoon

I am all for editorial cartoonists changing their minds on issues. It seems a natural part of human behavior that gets a bit lost these days out of fear of not being on message all the time. That's not just true for cartoonists, but it seems particularly damaging for anyone whose job requires honest and constant engagement with a changing world. Here he explains in brief terms why he is for the legal victories afforded same-sex marriage. This is additionally interesting because Stantis is probably the most prominent conservative editorial cartoonist that seems not driven by executing a very specific set of political ideas on behalf of an element within the larger political party struggle.

I would imagine that many people would object to the statement that the cartoonist's previous take was a defense of the sanctity of marriage, but I kind of like that Stantis puts it that way because that's how he viewed it.
