Meyers (philosophy and religion, Univ. of Southern Mississippi) has written an important, timely study. The reasons are two. First, even with the Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex marriage, arguments about LGBT rights continue. College campuses are no exception. Meyers uses logic in examining the issue, forcing readers to confront the fallacies in arguments against LGBT rights and promoting the logic of granting rights to all people, no matter their sexual orientation. His treatment will prompt thoughtful, non-emotional discussions. Second, this book is significant in terms of philosophy and logic. Students studying argumentation will find the book extremely helpful in learning to analyze and evaluate arguments from a logical perspective. And it will assist students in learning to avoid logical fallacies in their arguments. Valuable in GLBT studies, philosophy, classes in logic and argumentation, and the social sciences in general, the book is also just a good read. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. --Lavonna Lea Lovern, Valdosta State University
