Q: <\/strong>What\u2019s in this book that is unusual?<\/p>\n
A: <\/strong>Being against gay marriage should not mean you\u2019re against gay people. I talk about the equal dignity of sexual love, extending acceptance to gay and lesbian people. I separate myself from my religious tradition on this issue. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
[Eve says: It\u2019s pretty fascinating to see the degree to which The Future of Marriage <\/em>is shaped by Blankenhorn\u2019s memories of the civil rights movement, and his identity as a Southern liberal.]<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
