Debating Same-Sex Marriage is a dialogue between John Corvino and Maggie Gallagher but this summary will exclusively focus on the pro same-sex marriage argument of John Corvino. John Corvino is a highly-respected philosopher at Wayne State University. Primarily his focus tends to be on ethics, equality, sexuality, and freedom.
