Is same-sex marriage good for society? The ongoing debate over civil unions and same-sex marriage often generates more heat than light. Yet the debate cannot be ignored, as legislators and voters around the country grapple with whether and how to recognize same-sex relationships.

John Corvino and Glenn Stanton ? two of the nation?s leading and opposing voices on this issue bring clarity and civility to this otherwise divisive topic. Stanton, a same-sex marriage opponent, argues that such marriages would erode our understanding of humanity by treating male or female as optional for the family. Corvino, a same-sex marriage advocate, argues that recognizing same-sex unions would be good not only for gay people, but also for society at large, since society has an interest in promoting happy, stable, and loving relationships.
