A chronicle of the movement for same-sex marriage in the United States, focusing on events after November 2003, when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that restricting marriage to opposite-sex couples violated the state constitution. The ruling set off a national backlash and led officials in San Francisco, Multnomah County (Oregon), Sandoval County (New Mexico) and New Paltz (New York) to issue licenses to same-sex couples. Drawing on in-depth interviews, Pinello gives an insider account of courts, politicians and activists, and the stories of couples directly affected.
