Martha Nussbaum examines the most prominent arguments opposing same-sex marriage against the backdrop of a philosophical/legal analysis that focuses on the need to resist a "politics of disgust," in favor of a politics based on equal respect for persons.  She then asks what the constitutional protection of a "right to marry" implies, concluding that it requires the equal provision of marriage to same-sex couples.
