A detailed story of how social science contributed to gay rights
gains in the courts. For most of American history, public opinion
was strongly opposed to gay rights. Marriage equality had
negligible public support throughout the 1970s-1980s. Yet, starting
in the 1990s, American opinion toward marriage equality changed
more than any other attitude in the history of American public
opinion. In Rainbow after the Storm, Michael J. Rosenfeld explains
how attitudes toward marriage equality changed so much, and how
public opinion change drove change at the ballot box and in the
courts. As Rosenfeld shows, in three crucial same-sex marriage
trials, the supporters and opponents of marriage equality faced
off. Rosenfeld describes the struggles of the same-sex couples who,
with few resources at their disposal, and against formidable state
and religious opponents, sued for the right to marry and eventually
won. The first comprehensive analysis of the marriage equality
movement in the U.S., The Rainbow after the Storm tells the stories
of key individuals, the court battles, and the society-wide
explanations for the rapid liberalization of attitudes toward gay
rights that made same-sex marriage the law of the U.S. sooner than
almost anyone thought was possible.
