The Same-Sex Marriage Debate
Captions available
The idea
U.S. debate over marriage eligibility centers on whether marriage requires a man and a woman, or extends to any two consenting adults; both traditions are reported without adjudicating.
In practice
One side cites scripture and reproductive tradition; the other cites equal treatment for any committed couple.
Where people slip
Per this course's neutrality convention, a jurisdiction's legal outcome is reported, not a ruling on the dispute.
