A renowned Yale law professor chronicles the Vermont law and the changes it brings. He refutes charges that the law is an immoral adomination or that it is a terrible compromise (a separate but unequal injustice). Similar laws have been passed all over Europe, and more US States will undoubtedly develop new legislation. He argues that we should all - in the name of liberty, equality,and simple pragmatism - take up the cause.
The rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons
(LGBT) are strongly contested by certain faith communities, and
this confrontation has become increasingly pronounced following the
adjudication of a number of legal cases. As the strident arguments
of both sides enter a heated political arena, it brings forward the
deeply contested question of whether there is any possibility of
both communities' contested positions being reconciled under the
same law. This volume assembles impactful voices from the faith,
LGBT advocacy, legal, and academic communities - from the Human
Rights Campaign and ACLU to the National Association of
Evangelicals and Catholic and LDS churches. The contributors offer
a 360-degree view of culture-war conflicts around faith and
sexuality - from Obergefell to Masterpiece Cakeshop - and explore
whether communities with such profound differences in belief are
able to reach mutually acceptable solutions in order to both live
with integrity.
