The same sex marriage discussion is not just cultural, religious, and historical; it also has wide-ranging legal implications. From the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) provisions – to constitutional full-faith-and-credit-clause ramifications -- to equal protection and state fairness/discrimination issues -- there is much to contemplate. Dean McConville and Jordan Lorence will present these issues from their perspectives on either side of this debate.
