Despite the non-establishment of religion in the United States and the constitutional guarantee of free exercise, Christianity functions as the religious and moral standard in America. Ethical views that do not fit within this consensus often go unrecognized as moral values. Similarly, in the realm of sexual orientation, heterosexuality is seen as the yardstick by which sexual practices are measured. The notion that "alternative" sexual practices like homosexuality could possess ethical significance is often overlooked or ignored. In her new book, An Argument for Same-Sex Marriage, political scientist Emily Gill draws an extended comparison between religious belief and sexuality, both central components of one's personal identity. Using the religion clause of the First Amendment as a foundation, Gill contends that, just as US law and policy ensure that citizens may express religious beliefs as they see fit, it should also ensure that citizens may marry as they see fit. Civil marriage, according to Gill, is a public institution, and the exclusion of some couples from a state institution is a public expression of civic inequality. An Argument for Same-Sex Marriage is a passionate and timely treatment of the various arguments for and against same-sex marriage and how those arguments reflect our collective sense of morality and civic equality. It will appeal to readers who have an interest in gay and lesbian studies, political theory, constitutional law, and the role of religion in the contemporary United States." -- Publisher's description. 000642308 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000642308 650_0 $$aSame-sex marriage$$zUnited States$$xReligious aspects. 000642308 650_0 $$aSame-sex marriage$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States. 000642308 650_0 $$aReligion and politics$$zUnited States. 000642308 650_0 $$aReligion and state$$zUnited States. 000642308 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGill, Emily R., 1944-$$tArgument for same-sex marriage$$dWashington, DC : Georgetown University Press, [2012]$$z9781589019201$$w(DLC) 2011052058$$w(OCoLC)771425881 000642308 830_0 $$aReligion and politics series. 000642308 8520_ $$bacq 000642308 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000642308 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=998530$$zOnline Access 000642308 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:642308$$pGLOBAL_SET 000642308 980__ $$aEBOOK 000642308 980__ $$aBIB 000642308 982__ $$aEbook 000642308 983__ $$aOnline
