| Davis, Cynthia M. "The great divorce of government and marriage: Changing the nature of the gay marriage debate". Marquette Law Review, Summer2006, Vol. 89 Issue 4, pgs. 795-819. | The article reflects on the debate over same-sex marriage in the United States. Wisconsin voters will be voting on a state constitutional amendment that limits marriage to a union between a man and a woman and that denies legal status identical to marriage for unmarried individuals. This recognizes the importance of government protection of marriage rather than government promotion of marriage. |
| Goodman, Christie. "Debating gay marriage". State Legislatures, Feb2005, Vol. 31 Issue 2, pg. 31. (JK2403 .S765) | Focuses on controversies surrounding the legalization of same sex marriage in U.S. states. Total number of states with constitutional provisions defining marriage as only between a man and a woman; Introduction of a legislation calling for a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage in South Carolina and Virginia; Other countries with laws permitting same sex marriage or giving partners the same or similar benefits as those in heterosexual unions. |
| Minor, Bob. "Marriage amendments assault religious freedom". Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide, Sep/Oct2006, Vol. 13 Issue 5, pgs. 5-6. | 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. |
