As the uproar over the recent New York State law demonstrates,
same-sex marriage is a perennial hot-button issue, certain to
impact the 2012 election. Debating Same-Sex Marriage provides a
useful roadmap to both sides of this contentious matter. Taking a
"point/counterpoint" approach, John Corvino (a philosopher and a
prominent gay advocate) and Maggie Gallagher (a nationally
syndicated columnist and co-founder of the National Organization
for Marriage) consider key questions about the institution itself:
What is marriage for? Is marriage meant to be a gendered
institution? Why is the state in the business of sanctioning
marriage? Where do the needs of children fit in? Will legalization
of same-sex marriage lead to legalization of polygamy? Corvino
argues that society should support same-sex marriage because of its
interest in supporting stable households for all its members, gay
and straight alike. Gallagher argues that government recognition of
same-sex unions as marriages will disconnect marriage from its key
public mission furthering responsible procreation, while
stigmatizing traditional views of sex, marriage and family as
bigotry. Both agree that the issue deserves thoughtful, rigorous
engagement.
