"At its core, the freedom-to-marry movement is about the same thing
every civil rights struggle has been about: taking seriously our
country's promise to be a nation its citizens can make better, its
promise to be a place where people don't have to give up their
differences or hide them in order to be treated equally."
"Why Marriage Matters" offers a compelling, intelligently
reasoned discussion of a question at the forefront of our national
consciousness. It is the work of one of the most influential
attorneys in America, who has dedicated his life to the protection
of individuals' rights and our Constitution's commitment to equal
justice under the law. Above all, it is a clear, straightforward
book that brings into sharp focus the very human significance of
the right to marry in America -- not just for some couples, but for
all.
Why is the word "marriage" so important? Will marriage for
same-sex couples hurt the "sanctity" of the institution? How can
people of different faiths reconcile their beliefs with the idea of
marriage for same-sex couples? How will allowing gay couples to
marry affect children?
In this quietly powerful volume, the most authoritative and
fairly articulated book on the subject, Wolfson demonstrates why
the right to marry is important -- indeed necessary -- for all
couples and for America's promise of equality.
