A Christian Case for Gay Marriage

by Daivd G. Myers, Letha Dawson Scanzoni ...

Gay marriage has become the most important domestic social issue facing twenty-first-century Americans -- particularly Americans of faith.

Why Sex Is Too Important to Define Who We Are

We let ourselves be defined by socially constructed notions of sexual identity and sexual orientation--even though these may not be the only or best ways to think about sexuality.Anthropologist Jenell ...
