- Summary
- What rights govern heterosexual and homosexual behaviors? In this book, two philosophers debate this issue. One argues that a society that has the constitutional resources to protect hate groups can protect homosexuals without valorizing the homosexual lifestyle. He defends the view that the Bible cannot warrant the venom that, in the name of religion, is often expressed against homosexuals. The other defends the unorthodox view that the aversion some people experience toward homosexuality deserves respect. He further argues that while homosexuals enjoy the same rights as others to be free of violence and discrimination, they should not have more extensive rights. Thus, he concludes, homosexuals are not entitled to civil rights protection.
