A Battle of Words in the Culture War: Lessons for Europe from the American Debate over the Redefinition of Marriage
Original language description
What is marriage? This paper examines ongoing efforts in the United States to redefine marriage to legalize same-sex unions, and analyzes how the American debate is relevant to the European situation. The paper is divided into three sections. It begins with an overview of the issue and the historical development of the debate from legal and cultural perspectives. The paper then describes how the opposing sides frame the debate philosophically, and concludes with analysis about possible lessons from theAmerican experience for Europeans. In the USA, the issue is being contested and decided at the local, state, and national levels mainly through court decisions, legislation, administrative acts, and referenda. To date there is no coherent federal-level recognition of marriage between same-sex partners, but a series of recent policy initiatives and Supreme Court rulings are building momentum for a national-level redefinition of marriage.
