Have y'all seen this paper, "What is Marriage," by Robert George, Sherif Gergis, and Ryan T. Anderson?

Free download at the link.

I'm working my way through it. Here's my first favorite quote:

"Opponents of interracial marriage typically did not deny that marriage (understood as a union consummated by conjugal acts) between a black and a white was possible any more than proponents of segregated public facilities argued that some feature of the whites‐only water fountains made it impossible for blacks to drink from them. The whole point of antimiscegenation laws in the United States was to prevent the genuine possibility of interracial marriage from being realized or recognized, in order to maintain the gravely unjust system of white supremacy."

and my second:

"Real marriages are moral realities that create moral privileges and obligations between people, independently of legal enforcement. "
