Does antigay discrimination violate the Constitution? Is there any sound moral objection to homosexual conduct? Are such objections the moral and constitutional equivalent of racism? Must state laws recognizing same-sex unions be given effect in other states? Should courts take account of popular resistance to gay equality? Koppelman sheds new light on all these questions UR - http://chicago.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.7208/chicago/9780226451039.001.0001/upso-9780226451008 ER -
