"Forcing the spring" Description:
The Open Library:
This book begins on Election Night 2008, when a controversial California ballot initiative called Proposition 8, which removed the right of gay men and women to marry, passed alongside Barack Obama's election victory. It details how a small but determined group of political and media insiders took the fight for marriage equality all the way to the Supreme Court. Gay activists and Hollywood liberals joined together to enlist attorneys Ted Olson and David Boies, the opposing counsels on the Supreme Court's infamous Bush v. Gore ruling, to bring a controversial legal case against Proposition 8 before the highest court in the land. This is the extraordinary ringside account of this unprecedented effort to shift public opinion and reengineer the political certainties of an era. -- Provided by publisher.
