Foreword: The Radical case for gay marriage / Richard Goldstein
Exchanging it: the marriage market
Making it: the working marriage
Being it or being without it: slaves and paupers
Keeping: it: ain't nobody business if say "I do"
Keeping it: what's his is his and what's hers is ... whose?
Ignoring it: can't buy me love
Sharing it: so who needs marriage?
Refraining, 1: Christians reject marriage
Reproducing: is it a marriage ... or is it a brothel
Refraining, 2: the Protestants rebel against celibacy?
Refreshing, 1: heart and soul v. womb and sperm
Refreshing, 2: intimate to the degree of being sacred
What do we do about those little bastards?
Will the "real" parent please stand up: mother, father, other?
Should lesbians and gay men be parents?
Marrying out: barricading the tribe
Marrying in: protecting the family
Marrying early and marrying often: polygamy
Marrying everyone: utopians
Inside out or outside in: who says you're married?
Living together: is it marriage yet?
Remember the ladies: who runs the marriage?
Dissent: untying the knot, or when can you say "I don't"?
Consent: Tying the knot, or who can say "I do"?
