Six weeks later, on May 15, the California Supreme Court invalidated the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. The proximity of these two state interventions invites reflection on the rhetoric and politics of marital diversity in the United States.” In response to these events, The Immanent Frame has featured a diverse set of essays reflecting on the complex place of the institution of marriage in American history and society.

Other contributors include sociologists Jaye Cee Whitehead and Melanie Heath, as well as Stephanie Coontz, Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Jimmy Casas Klausen and M. Christian Green, with more to come.
