    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the social consequences of the political struggle for same-sex marriage. There may be unintended casualties and benefits, and some participants in the struggle admit to goals other than attainment or prevention of same-sex marriage. The main stated concern of opponents to same-sex marriage and other legal recognitions of same-sex pairings is likely harm to the institution of marriage. Although it may be possible to open marriage to same-sex couples without harming the institution, there are clear dangers to marriage in the political and ideological conflict about same-sex marriage.
