CFP: Marriage in American History

截止日期:2022年7月25日

To mark the 20th anniversary of the historic decision in v之一. 公共卫生部, volume 4 of the MHR’s new series will feature essays that deal critically with the theme of marriage, 广泛的构思. Essays may address the theme in a variety of ways so long as the idea of marriage is integral to the topic and analysis.

的 Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling in Goodridge made the Commonwealth of Massachusetts the first in the nation to recognize same-sex marriage. In 2001, seven same-sex Bay State couples sued after state officials denied them marriage licenses. Writing for the majority in this watershed case, Chief Justice Margaret Marshall refuted opponents’ claims that same-sex marriage would harm the institution of marriage overall, pointing out that “[recognizing] the right of an individual to marry a person of the same sex will not diminish the validity of opposite-sex marriage, any more than recognizing the right of an individual to marry a person of a different race devalues the marriage of a person who marries someone of her own race.”,而, 马歇尔法官认为, “extending civil marriage to same-sex couples reinforces the importance of marriage to individuals and communities. That same-sex couples are willing to embrace marriage’s solemn obligations of exclusivity, 相互支持, and commitment to one another is a testament to the enduring place of marriage in our laws and in the human spirit.” Although the court handed down its 4-3 decision the previous year, the first marriage licenses were issued to same-sex couples in 2004.
