}}John Frank Corvino (born 1969) is an American philosopher. He is a professor of philosophy and the department chair at Wayne State University and the author of several books, with a focus on the morality of homosexuality.[2] Corvino is sometimes referred to as "The Gay Moralist", a sobriquet he assumed while writing a column of the same name.[3]

Early life and education

John Frank Corvino was born in 1969 to John R. Corvino and Annette R. Corvino. He was raised Roman Catholic and is of Italian descent. In 1987, he graduated from Chaminade High School, an all-boys Catholic school in Mineola, New York. Corvino attended St. John's University in New York City, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy in 1990.[4] He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin in 1998.[4] His dissertation was Hume's Moral Realism, and his advisor was A. P. Martinich.[4]

Career

Corvino is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan.[5] He began teaching there in 1998 and received tenure in 2007.[4] His foci are ethics, applied ethics, and early modern philosophy.[5] Other areas in which he has concentrated include the philosophy of religion, social philosophy, and political philosophy.[4] He has taught classes focusing on Hume as well as British empiricism.[4]

For nine years, Corvino wrote a column titled "The Gay Moralist". The column appeared bi-weekly in Between the Lines from 2002 to 2007 and then weekly on 365gay.com from 2007 to 2011.[4] Although Corvino stopped writing the column in 2011, he is still referred to by the appellation today.[6][7]

Corvino—who is openly gay—has written, debated, and lectured extensively on gay rights[4] and frequently debates with opponents of same-sex marriage, including Maggie Gallagher, the former head of the National Organization for Marriage, and Glenn Stanton of Focus on the Family. Corvino argues that spirited dialogue and debate with opponents of homosexuality and same-sex marriage is essential to convince the wider American public of both the merits of same-sex marriage and the moral acceptability of homosexuality. Corvino has argued that gay rights activists should avoid referring to opponents of gay rights as "bigots", calling it a "conversation-stopper".[8]

Corvino has written three books: Debating Same-Sex Marriage with Maggie Gallagher (2012), What's Wrong with Homosexuality? (2013), and Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination with Ryan T. Anderson and Sherif Girgis (2017). In part with the assistance of Chase Whiteside, Corvino has produced three popular YouTube video series, in which he responds to frequently asked questions on topics covered in each of his books.[9]

Corvino has also written on business ethics[10][11] and has contributed to many academic journals and periodicals, including The Gay & Lesbian Review Worldwide, Southwest Philosophy Review, Business Ethics Quarterly, Philosophical Quarterly, and Ethics.[4]

Reception

Corvino's work has received widespread praise for his civil, articulate approach to controversial issues. Several prominent opponents of same-sex marriage have expressed respect for Corvino, albeit generally still disagreeing with him, while LGBT rights activists have commended him for engaging the other side with patience and geniality.

Debating Same-Sex Marriage

Debating Same-Sex Marriage (2012), which Corvino co-authored with Maggie Gallagher, received praise from both proponents and opponents of same-sex marriage. In the San Francisco Book Review, Elizabeth Raymond wrote, "Debating Same-Sex Marriage{{'}}s format is quite interesting – and massively effective . . . It's like witnessing a live debate between these two lively characters . . . I highly recommend this to all – if only for a manual on how to respectfully debate a member of the opposing viewpoint. Well done!"[12] Among other positive reviews were those from LGBT rights activist Dan Savage,[12] Republican senator Rick Santorum,[12] Matt Reynolds in Christianity Today,[13] and Ryan T. Anderson in National Review.[14] In The Times Literary Supplement, libertarian Nigel Ashford commented that "the tone of the book—of reason and logic, respect for opponents and willingness to engage in intellectual combat—is set by Corvino himself in his examination of the case against homosexuality, and by the inclusion of a rebuttal of his own arguments."[15]

What's Wrong with Homosexuality?

What's Wrong with Homosexuality? (2013) received several positive reviews, including from Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson[16] and feminist philosopher Martha Nussbaum.[16] The book received a negative review from Nathaniel Frank in The Washington Post.[17] Conservative intellectual Robert P. George wrote, "John Corvino is a philosophically sophisticated, lucid writer who makes a serious effort here to engage those (like me) with whom he disagrees. He argues aggressively, to be sure, but does not resort to calling his critics names or impugning their motives. Moreover, he is commendably willing to come to grips with challenges to the presuppositions and implications of the position he holds. He is, in short, a worthy intellectual opponent in the debate over the ethics and meaning of sex and marriage."[16]

Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination

Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination (2017), which Corvino co-authored with Ryan T. Anderson and Sherif Girgis, received praise for being a constructive, back-and-forth discussion on religious freedom and anti-discrimination law. Among its positive reviews were those from Russell D. Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention,[18] Albert Mohler of The Gospel Coalition,[18] and Andrea Picciotti-Bayer in National Review.[19] In Commonweal, Robert K. Vischer wrote, "Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination is a direct challenge to our cultural moment, opting for careful analysis over clickbait, mutual understanding over demonization, and clearly demarcated disagreement over sweeping dismissal. The authors take the time to lay out their best arguments, then respond to the best arguments of their opponents. Whether or not the book ultimately causes readers to change their views is not the measure of its success. The authors provide a desperately needed model for engagement: they argue with, not at their opponent; they argue together."[20]
