• W320647425 abstract "Written in the wake of the adoption of constitutional amendments in eleven states limiting the freedom to marry, this article launches critical historical and narrative inquiry into the struggle marriage equality. Squarely situating its inquiry at the intersection of religion and politics, the article advances three propositions. First, we are called to be just in marriage. Constitutional principles of equality and liberty are offended by withholding the benefits of marriage from people who, for their gender, are eligible marital status. In considering the question of justice in marriage, the article will demonstrate that much of the outcry against same-sex marriage is based on historically inaccurate understandings of sexuality and marriage. Traditionalists too often assume that heterosexuality and homosexuality are universal ideals, marching unchanged throughout time. However, the ideals of homosexuality and heterosexuality are of very recent vintage, entering common parlance in America in the early twentieth century. Same-sex eroticism between men has been tolerated, if not accepted, in many cultures and during many historic periods. Furthermore, many traditionalists stand on the premise that marriage, defined as the sexual union of one man and one woman in the setting of family, has been the prevailing arrangement throughout western history. Yet, marriage, as it is known in American, did not exist 2,000 (or even 200) years ago. The has no valid historical claim to serving as the bedrock of civilization. Throughout western history -- and within patriarchal household and systems -- many different forms in variety of household constellations have flourished. Second, we are reminded that the institution that is at the heart of this struggle is just marriage. A number of criticisms have been lodged of marriage and the nuclear family. The American family, as our most explicitly gendered has been the chief site that produces and reproduces hierarchical social roles and that divides physical, economic, emotional, and sexual labor according to gendered roles and expectations. The sexual division of labor within families has been inherently unequal -- the non-wage earning tasks of caretaking have been placed with (middle-class, white) women while (middle-class, white) men have had the liberty to pursue careers that are personally and economically rewarding. As consequence, the construct of has been foundational to the separation of the public from the private sphere and to the sequestration of women as caretakers in the domestic domain. For women, the rhetoric of has been a wedge in larger effort to reduce women's freedom and discourage gender equity. For society, the focus on the family has allowed preoccupation with individuals and the marital unit, to the detriment of the constitution of the community. Because marriage and traditional values have been defined in terms of sexual property rights, gay and lesbian couples have been cautioned to carefully consider whether hierarchies of subordination and privilege may be perpetuated by pursuing marital status. Consequently, the article situates itself within contradiction, stance common to feminist jurisprudence. While recognizing the tensions inherent in denying gay and lesbian couples equal access to an unjust institution, the article also urges the loosening of the social, legal, economic, political, and religious ties that bind us to perpetuating the privileged status of the spousal dyad. Third, to shift to moral analysis, this article suggests that the obsession with form obscures issues that lie at the heart of sexual morality. It is not the structure of relationship that makes it worthwhile. Monogamy, example, can be good or ill -- the site of human caring or a prison of abuse. It is not the gender of the participants that renders relationship moral. The line that needs to be policed is not the fictive boundary between heterosexuality and homosexuality, but the line that separates positive human sexuality from forms of sexuality that are abusive. From historical axis, the article will support these propositions by offering historical survey of sexualities, forms, and state regulation of sexual expression. From narrative axis, the article will offer vignettes of the diversity of forms and sexual expression that have persisted in religious and political domains." @default.
