A Right to Marry? Same-Sex Marriage and Constitutional Law
Nussbaum, Martha
Dissent, Summer 2009, v56, #3, pp43-55
"Same-Sex Marriage is currently one of the most divisive political issues in America. While several states have legalized it, others—most recently, California—have stripped same-sex couples of their right. 'What ought we to hope and work for, as a just future for families in our society?' asks Martha Nussbaum in her essay 'A Right to Marry.' Martha Ackelsberg, Stephanie Coontz, and Katha Pollitt respond."
Martha Nussbaum is Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago.
