KNOXVILLE—As legislators and voters around the country grapple with whether and how to recognize same-sex relationships, Maggie Gallagher and John Corvino—two of the nation’s leading and opposing voices on this issue—will bring clarity and civility to this otherwise divisive topic during a debate at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
“A Civil Gay Marriage Debate” will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, October 10, in the University Center Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.
Gallagher, author and opponent of same-sex marriage, is the president of the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy and former president of the National Organization for Marriage. She’s also a commentator who has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, and dozens of other media outlets.
Corvino, author and proponent of same-sex marriage, is a professor of philosophy at Wayne State University, the editor of Same Sex: Debating the Ethics, Science and Culture of Homosexuality, and the author of numerous articles and opinion pieces that have appeared in regional and national print media.
The debate was planned by the UT Issues Committee and the Central Program Council.
