Reviews

"West argues that same-sex marriage proponents should not rule morality out, as the courts have done, but take morality on. She convincingly articulates an affirmative moral case that the ‘good’ of marriage—fostering intimacy and care giving for dependents—applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual couples."
