This closing plenary will explore multiple dimensions of the relationship between marriage and equality, by considering “marriage equality” as more states open up civil marriage to same-sex couples alongside “marriage inequality,” the growing, class- and race-based marriage divide. Panelists will address a range of topics, including how family law should respond to the growing separation of marriage and parenthood and the intersection of marriage equality with concerns for family diversity and pluralism.
