Courting Justice by Joyce Murdoch

Courting Justice

Gay Men and Lesbians V. the Supreme Court

Joyce Murdoch

Since 1958, twenty-five men and two women have forced the Supreme Court to consider whether the Constitution’s promises of equal protection apply to gay Americans. Here Joyce Murdoch and Deb Price reveal how the nation’s highest court has reacted to these cases–from the surprising 1958 victory of a tiny homosexual magazine to the 2000 defeat of a gay Eagle Scout. A triumph of investigative reporting, Courting Justice gives us an inspiring new perspective on the struggle for civil rights in America.
