Marriage Proposals

The Essays in Marriage Proposals make a unique contribution amid the two marriage furors of the day: same-sex marriage and the Bush Administration's "marriage movement." Abolishing the legal category of marriage is the only policy suggestion in current American discourse that speaks to both sides. Marriage Proposals presents a viable reform agenda-abolition of marriage as a legal status that activists on both sides of the debate can use for fighting battles in the court room and the streets.
