Gay Discrimination is Wrong

Abstract: A 6 page research paper/essay that offers a rebuttal to a 1995 essay by Jeff Jordan, a professor of philosophy at the University of Delaware, who argues that, in some circumstances, discrimination against homosexuals is morally and ethically justifiable. Specifically, Jordan argues that it is not only legally permissible but morally permissible, in fact, morally preferable, for the state to maintain prohibitions against same-sex marriage. Close examination of Jordan's argument demonstrates that his position does not hold up under scrutiny. Jordan not only fails to make his argument persuasively, but it suffers under the weight of points that Jordan himself brings up. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
