Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In April 2009, Iowa became only the third US state to permit same-sex couples to wed. And unlike the earlier decisions in Massachusetts and Connecticut, the decision was unanimous and unequivocal. It catalyzed the unprecedented and rapid shift in law and public opinion that continues today. Equal Before the Law tells the stories behind this critical battle in the fight for marriage equality and traces the decision's impact.
