Prof. Carpenter Speaks on PBS on Marriage Amendment

Professor Dale Carpenter spoke on PBS's "Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly" show for an episode entitled "Minnesota Gay Marriage." Carpenter stated: "The fact that the amendment is just focused on the marital status itself is a reflection of a new reality, which is that much of the public accepts that same-sex relationships are legitimate and that they have legal needs but may not be ready to accept the title of marriage quite yet. I don't think that's a form of bigotry, I think that's a form of risk-averseness."
