Since Connecticut legalized gay marriage in November 2008, more than 6,000 same-sex couples have been married here.
More and more Northeastern states are legalizing same-sex marriage with New York doing it last summer. It’s an issue that continues to stir debate - from California’s Proposition 8 to this year’s presidential race.
Today, a religious look at gay rights in the United States. We’ll be joined by author Jay Michaelson who has a new book called God vs. Gay? The Religious Case for Equality.
He says religious people should support equality and inclusion for sexual minorities because of religion...not despite it.
We’ll talk with Michaelson and religion writer and the host of Paper Trails Mark Oppenheimer. We’ll also be joined by Peter Wolfgang from the Family Institute of Connecticut...that group has opposed gay marriage laws in the state. Also, Yale Law School student Sherif Girgis has a book coming out in February called What is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense.
Are you a religious person struggling with the questions about homosexuality? Have your own beliefs changed?
