Gay Marriage and Democracy combines serious scholarship with lively polemic. Claire Snyder dissects the contentious debate over gay marriage, revealing faulty logic, flawed legal arguments, failures to live up to the promises of equality enshrined in our country's founding documents, and feverish attempts to breech the wall separating church from state. She demostrates that anxiety over sexuality still generates bad public policy proposals in the United States, even if gay marriage is currently not banned in Boston.
