The diverse expert contributors to this volume from the fields of
politics and law use moral argumentation with respect to same-sex
marriage, gay rights in general, and California's Prop 8. The
arguments are advanced in terms of the nation's foundational
political and legal principles, extending ethical argumentation to
important contemporary public policy areas such as marriage, the
separation of church and state, and the rearing of children.
Several chapters also contest the perceived if not actual
establishment in the law and public policy of heterosexist and
religious bias that continues to work against full and meaningful
inclusion of sexual minorities. This bias is ironically and
improperly couched in the language of American political and
religious values, and it misunderstands the nation's core
principles, or willfully miscasts them as inapplicable to many
Americans and their families. Nonetheless, this bias is pervasive
in the nation's political discourse, working to deny an important
right and the recognition of equality to many citizens. The main
contribution ofMoral Argument, Religion, and Same-Sex Marriage is
in its direct engagement with the political and legal arguments of
the gay community's critics on their own moral and ethical terms.
Along the way, important concepts in public discourse such as
governmental neutrality, the right to marry, and religious freedom
are presented and cast in the light of liberal-democratic theory."
