  • CCF Gender Revolution Symposium: No Stall in the Sexual Revolution

    Posted on March 6, 2012 in Brief Reports


    By Brian Powell, Ph.D. James H. Rudy Professor of Sociology Indiana University Phone: 812-855-7624 (office); 812-360-0474 (cell) Email: powell@indiana.edu The gender revolution may have been stalled, but the sexual revolution continues to gather steam.

    New Jersey’s Historic ‘Civil Union’ Opportunity

    Posted on October 1, 2011 in Opinion Pieces


    The New Jersey Supreme Court has given the state Legislature a historic opportunity, and I don’t mean the chance to allow same-sex couples to marry. The Legislature has the chance to enact civil unions for all couples – same-sex and different-sex. New Zealand does it. So does the Netherlands, under the name “registered partnership.” Maine and the District of Columbia recognize “domestic partnerships” for both straight and gay couples, although both give domestic partners fewer rights than those accorded married couples. Even New Jersey’s current domestic partnership law allows different-sex couples to register – but only if both partners are over 62, presumably a nod to the impact of remarriage on certain pension and retirement benefits.

    Experts: Michael Rosenfeld

    By Michael J. Rosenfeld Professor of Sociology Stanford University mrosenfe@stanford.edu, 415.205.1892 Prior to 1970, the overwhelming majority of all couples were same-race married couples. Couples who lived together outside of marriage, whether heterosexual or same-sex, were practically invisible. Inter-racial marriages were extremely rare. In fact, until 1967, many states in the US had laws against interracial […]

    Will Providing Marriage Rights To Same-Sex Couples Undermine Heterosexual Marriage? Evidence From Scandinavia

    Posted on May 1, 2004 in Brief Reports
    Experts: M. V. Lee Badgett

    By M. V. Lee Badgett Professor of Economics University of Massachusetts, Amherst As a way to understand what might happen, some writers have looked to the experience of those Scandinavian countries that pioneered giving a marriage-like status to gay and lesbian couples. Denmark adopted such a law in 1989, Norway in 1993, Sweden in 1994, […]
