Monday, we’re examining Utah’s evolving legal case against gay marriage and the focus on child welfare in the State's latest brief to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Observers note that Utah has dropped the argument that marriage is about creating children and is now focusing on the idea that children fare best in families with a mother and a father. Doug talks to guests about the State's strategy and what research is telling us about the outcomes of children in same-sex families.
Guests:
- Paul Mero, Sutherland Institute, author of The Natural Family: A Manifesto [Amazon|Indiebound]. This afternoon, Sutherland Institute filed Amendment 3 amicus brief with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Clifford Rosky, University of Utah and Equality Utah
- Judith Stacey, New York University, author of Unhitched: Love, Marriage, and Family Values from West Hollywood to Western China [Amazon|Indiebound]
