context_page_description: John Frank Corvino is an American philosopher. He is a professor of philosophy and the dean of the Honors College at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan and the author of several books, with a focus on the morality of homosexuality. Corvino is sometimes referred to as "The Gay Moralist", a sobriquet he assumed while writing a column of the same name.
context_section_description: Corvino co-authored Debating Religious Liberty and Discrimination (2017) with Ryan T. Anderson and Sherif Girgis. The book 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, Albert Mohler of The Gospel Coalition, and Andrea Picciotti-Bayer in National Review. 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."
