A response to NYU Law Professor Kenji Yoshino.
Last week we released our Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy article, "What is Marriage?" It offers a robust defense of the conjugal view of marriage as the union of husband and wife, and issues specific intellectual challenges to those who propose to redefine civil marriage to accommodate same-sex partnerships.
Kenji Yoshino of NYU Law School, a prominent and influential gay rights legal scholar, has posted on Slate a response to our article under the title "The Best Argument Against Gay Marriage," proposing to show "why it fails." Although we are glad that our efforts have attracted the critical attention of an important advocate of redefining marriage, Professor Yoshino's response is long on rhetoric designed to stigmatize a position he opposes, and short on arguments that might actually cast doubt on its soundness.
