America's Struggle for Same-Sex Marriage chronicles the evolution
of the social movement for same-sex marriage in the United States
and examines the political controversies surrounding gay people's
quest for access to the civil institution of marriage. The book
focuses on the momentous events that began in November 2003, when
the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court declared unequivocally
that the state's conferral of marriage only on opposite-sex couples
violated constitutional principles of respect for individual
autonomy and equality under law. The decision both triggered a
political backlash of national proportion and prompted officials in
San Francisco, Multnomah County (OR), Sandoval County (NM), and New
Paltz (NY) to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The
volume relies on in-depth interviews to provide an insider account
of how courts, politicians, and activists maneuver and deal with a
cutting-edge social policy issue, as well as real-life narratives
about everyday people whom the debate immediately affects.
