- Title
Marriage Amendments Assault Religious Freedom.
- Authors
Minor, Bob
- Abstract
The article focuses on political debates concerning the issue of same-sex marriage. The author argues that same-sex marriage proponents would benefit by discussing the issue in religious terms. According to the author, marriage has cultural associations with religion and religious practice. He believes that same-sex marriage proponents should argue that by advocating for an amendment to the United States Constitution to sharply define marriage as restricted to one male and one female partner, same sex marriage opponents are prohibiting the freedom of religion. The author cites several religious groups that have affirmed the right of same-sex couples to marry including: Unitarian Universalists, The United Church of Christ and the Central Conference of American Rabbis.
