Gay Divorce: Thoughts on the Legal Regulation of Marriage

Hypatia 22 (1):24-38 (2007)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Although the exclusion of LGBTs from the rites and rights of marriage is arbitrary and unjust, the legal institution of marriage is itself so riddled with injustice that it would be better to create alternative forms of durable intimate partnership that do not invoke the power of the state. Card's essay develops a case for this position, taking up an injustice sufficiently serious to constitute an evil: the sheltering of domestic violence.
