Marriage is a battleground for a whole roiling mass of distinct yet interconnected issues. This is especially clear in the national debate over same-sex marriage, which is not just about evolving "family values" but, as the Reverend Howard Moody argues here, the way church and state vie for authority over our intimate lives. A range of perspectives is urgently needed in the gay-marriage debate, which is typically conducted in pro/con format. The "pro" picture often leaves the impression that gays and lesbians just want a place at the altar-neither mining the once-robust queer and feminist critique of marriage nor probing the fractious state of the marital union.
For better or worse, there isn't always magic in marriage, but it does involve a certain alchemy.
