Same-sex marriage continues to be a polarizing subject in the
United States and other parts of the world. This new edition of
Same-Sex Marriage: A Reference Handbook brings readers up to date
on the status of same-sex unions from social, legal, political, and
historical perspectives. According to Pew Research poll data, in
2001, the majority of Americans opposed same-sex marriage—57
percent against, 35 percent in support. As of 2015, a majority of
Americans (55 percent) supported same-sex marriage, with 39 percent
expressing opposition. The landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case, in
which the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 5–4 decision that the
fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples, is
likely further influencing opinions among U.S. citizens. Still,
controversy and heated debate continues to ensue on the social,
legal, and political implications of same-sex marriage. The second
edition of Same-Sex Marriage: A Reference Handbook presents
thorough coverage of recent changes in the legal status of same-sex
marriage in the United States as well as essays that provide
historical perspectives on same-sex marriage; an extensive,
up-to-date bibliography; a collection of primary source documents;
a glossary; and a chronology that will serve readers studying the
topic. New material includes a detailed discussion of the 2015
Supreme Court of the United States decision as well as coverage of
issues that have arisen as a result of the Obergefell case, such as
the debate over "religious freedom" and LGBT civil rights
legislation.
