| Summary: | At the same time the U.S. government officially touts marriage as a commonsense solution to social problems from poverty to juvenile delinquency and hopes to entice reluctant different sex couples in poverty to see this institution as providing the support necessary to live an independent life, it also bans same-sex couples willing and enthusiastic about fulfilling these responsibilities of governance. In One Marriage Under God: The Campaign to Promote Marriage in America, Melanie Heath frames this puzzle as a primary contradictory consequence of a marriage ideology that enforces social boundaries and intensifies inequalities around race, class, and sexuality. |
