Nancy Polikoff writes Beyond (Straight and Gay) Marriage moves the discussion forward by focusing on the issue of marriage and the law. The root problem, is that marriage is a bright dividing line between relationships that legally matter and those that don’t. A woman married to a man for nine monthsis entitled to Social Security survivor’s benefits when he dies;a woman living for nineteen years with a man or woman to whom she isn’t married receives nothing.While marriage equality for same-sex couples is a civil rights victory, Nancy D. Polikoff contends no one should have to marry in order to reap specific and unique legal results. Nancy Polikoff |
