520    The right of same-sex couples to marry provoked decades of
       intense conflict before it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme 
       Court in 2015. Yet some of the most divisive contests 
       shaping the quest for marriage equality occurred not on 
       the culture-war front lines but within the ranks of LGBTQ 
       advocates. Nathaniel Frank tells the dramatic story of how
       an idea that once seemed unfathomable--and for many gays 
       and lesbians undesirable--became a legal and moral right 
       in just half a century. Awakening begins in the 1950s, 
       when millions of gays and lesbians were afraid to come out,
       let alone fight for equal treatment. Across the social 
       upheavals of the next two decades, a gay rights movement 
       emerged with the rising awareness that same-sex love is 
       equal to love everywhere. As movement leaders and ordinary
       gay people created new communities, alliances, and ideas, 
       a tight-knit cadre of (mostly) gay and lesbian lawyers 
       began to focus on legal recognition for same-sex couples, 
       eventually creating a long-term strategy to win marriage 
       rights in the courts. But first they had to win over 
       members of their own LGBTQ community who declined to make 
       marriage a priority, while reining in others who charged 
       ahead heedless of their carefully laid plans, and often at
       odds with them. All the while, they had to fight against 
       virulent antigay opponents and capture the American center
       by spreading the simple message that love is love--
       ultimately propelling the LGBTQ community, and America, 
       immeasurably closer to justice.--|cProvided by publisher
