But the road to victory was much longer than many know. In this seminal work, Sasha Issenberg takes us back to Hawaii in the 1990s, when that state's supreme court first started grappling with the issue, and traces the fight for marriage equality from the enactment of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 to the Goodridge decision that made Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriage, and finally to the seminal Supreme Court decisions of Windsor and Obergefell. This meticulously reported work sheds new light on every aspect of this fraught history and brings to life the perspectives of those who fought courageously for the right to marry as well as those who fervently believed that same-sex marriage would destroy the nation. It is sure to become the definitive book on one of the most important civil rights fights of our time"--|cProvided by publisher 650 0 Same-sex marriage|xLaw and legislation|zUnited States |xHistory. 650 7 Same-sex marriage|xLaw and legislation.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01104557 650 7 HISTORY|zUnited States|x21st Century.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xCivil Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xPolitical Freedom & Security|xCivil Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xGay Studies.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xLGBT Studies|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:|aIssenberg, Sasha.|tEngagement.|dNew York : Pantheon Books, [2021].|z9781524748746|w(DLC) 2019051708|w(OCoLC)1128062080 921 so, JC, updated 504 field. 994 C0|bCKE
