As the fate of marriage equality hurtles toward the Supreme Court, legal thinkers and queer theorists step back to examine the arguments. What does the history of American marriage law tell us about its future? Is it a viable and just social institution? With Nancy Cott, Michael Bronski, Nancy Polikoff, Scott Fitzgibbon, and Mary Bonauto. Moderated by Mary Lyndon Shanley.
