"My story starts at the very end of the journey to equal marriage
rights. I stand on the shoulders of giants..."In the future, people
will find it difficult to believe that until 2014, somewhere
between 5 and 10 per cent of Britain's population were excluded
from marriage.As Equalities Minister during the coalition
government, Lynne Featherstone played a fundamental role in
rectifying this. From setting the wheels in motion within
government, to her experiences of the abuse with which the gay
community is regularly confronted, through her rebuttals against
the noise and fury of her opponents, and finally to the making of
history, Lynne details the surprising twists and turns of the
fight. Filled with astonishing revelations about finding allies in
unexpected places and encountering resistance from unforeseen foes,
Equal Ever After is an honest account of one woman's pivotal
efforts during the turbulent final mile.This is real, lived history
- recent history. Many of us celebrated on the day the dream became
reality; many of us know people whose lives were changed by the
events described here.In this inside story, Lynne reveals the
emotional lows and the exhilarating highs involved in turning
hard-won social acceptance into tangible legal equality.
