SERIES ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE: Eve Tushnet

I've been doing a running series of posts on my own blog, EveTushnet.com; you can start here and scroll up to see the entire series, or you can get the highlights:

intro: the three types of argument, including, "Marriage is, inherently, a 'special right'--something a relationship earns because of what it gives society."
my basic position: "The same-sex marriage debate is... about a view of marriage that was first promoted by and for heterosexual couples."
masculinity: "Same-sex marriage is unisex. ...When cultural signifiers become unisex, men move away from them fast."
comparison of friendship and same-sex unions
Heather Has No Daddy: "When you tell men they're not necessary to the family, you know, sometimes they believe you."
