Reviewing aspects of liberal-democratic theory, marriage law, and pertinent analogies that deal with the right to marry, Gordon Albert Babst presents the notion of the "shadow establishment," which makes the best sense of a constitutional affirmation of bias against same-sex marriage and gay persons in the law."--BOOK JACKET. 606 $aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aGay people$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aMarriage law$zUnited States 606 $aReligion and law$zUnited States 606 $aConstitutional law$xReligious aspects 615 0$aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aGay people$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aMarriage law 615 0$aReligion and law 615 0$aConstitutional law$xReligious aspects. 676 $a346.7301/6 700 $aBabst$b Gordon Albert$f1961-$0999364 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345134203321 996 $aLiberal constitutionalism, marriage, and sexual orientation$92293001 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
