News and Views #10: Homosexuality Friday, Jan 20 2006
Neil Wehneman and News and Views 4:25 pm
Perhaps the most contentious issue of our day is the debate over homosexuality. In this shortened version of the original episode, I will look solely at the legal issues concerning homosexuality. (Note: this is a companion episode to Constitutional Law I #41: Sexual Orientation.)
Note: I originally recorded a much longer version of this episode that dealt with the spiritual questions regarding homosexuality. I removed that episode from default availability for reasons explained in the intro to the shortened episode.
Those who recognize the difficulties of this entire issue but who still wish to hear my complete perspective are welcome to contact me for a link to it.
