TY - JOUR PY - 2017/02/24 TI - Disciplining Queerness: A Queer Argument about Same-Sex Marriage JF - Hinckley Journal of Politics; Vol 5 (2004) KW - N2 - The debate surrounding same-sex marriage has taken on new importance in light of recent Supreme Court cases that have advocated a more tolerant treatment of homosexuals. The issue becomes even more cogent and heated when one considers that three states have legalized same-sex unions in the span of just ten years. While the legalization of same-sex marriages is an important step towards the goal of securing rights and recognition for homosexuals, the rhetoric and discourse surrounding the issue remains problematic from a theoretical point of view. This paper will briefly survey some of the arguments provided by both liberal and conservative thinkers in support of same-sex marriage. Some of the problematic assumptions and failings of these justifications will then be explored and a more tenable and ultimately better alternative provided.
