04.30: Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality
2014-03-18 02:35:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
Forcing the Spring (Penguin Press) 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 stunning victory. Pulitzer Prize–winner Jo Becker 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. Forcing the Spring is the definitive story of the fight to win the rights of marriage and full citizenship for all. This event is sponsored by Q Center.
