Chris Meyers takes the reader on a careful, rational, sustained criticism of arguments about the immorality of homosexuality. Meyers refutes anti-gay arguments by showing that they are based on unreasonable or demonstrably false ideas about the nature of morality. Working through the morality arguments against homosexuality, Meyers shows how the nature of morality demands impartial, overriding reasons to act. He argues that morality is not grounded in visceral feelings of disgust, commands from the scriptures, or mysterious Platonic essences. In clear, convincing discussion, Meyers examines morality to promote the moral logic of granting rights to all people, no matter their sexual orientation.
Chris Meyers is associate professor in the Philosophy and Religion Department at the University of Southern Mississippi. He teaches applied ethics and ethical theory. Meyers has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed professional philosophy journals. His first book, The Fetal Position (2010) analyzed the most prominent arguments on both sides of the abortion debate.
