The Gay Marriage Debate
This week, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney begged the Senate Judiciary Committee to take up a constitutional amendment banning same-sex unions. Law professor Nancy Polikoff argues that such an amendment is unnecessary and that America should take a hard look at marriage itself. She believes marriage is a bright, divisive line restricting many people -- not just gays -- from an entire set of rights and privileges. Hear Polikoff and NPR's Scott Simon.
