Claire R. Snyder

Gay Marriage and Democracy

Equality for All

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this provocative new work, R. Claire Snyder argues that the fundamental principles of American democracy not only allow but require the legalization of same-sex marriage. In addition to explaining the theoretical issues at stake, the book provides a short history of marriage, disentangling its interpersonal, communal, religious and civil components.
