Review Quotes:
"West argues that same-sex marriage proponents should not rule morality out, as the courts have done, but take morality on. She convincingly articulates an affirmative moral case that the 'good' of marriage--fostering intimacy and care giving for dependents--applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual couples."
