Same-sex marriage has become one of the defining social issues in
contemporary U.S. politics. State court decisions finding in favor
of same-sex relationship equality claims have been central to the
issue's ascent from nowhere to near the top of the national
political agenda. Same Sex Marriage in the United States tells the
story of the legal and cultural shift, its backlash, and how it has
evolved over the past 15 years. This book aids in a classroom
examination of the legal, political, and social developments
surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage in the United States.
While books about same-sex marriage have proliferated in recent
years, few, if any, have provided a clear and comprehensive account
of the litigation for same-sex marriage, and its successes and
failures, as this book does. Updated through 2013, this edition
details the watershed rulings in favor of same-sex marriage: the
Supreme Court's June 26th repeal of DOMA, and of Proposition 8 in
California, as well as the many states (New Jersey, Illinois, New
Mexico, Hawaii, and Nevada among others) where activists and public
leaders have made recent strides to ensure that gay couples have an
equal right to marry.
