Perry, the trial that will stand as the most potent argument for marriage equality. In 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, rescinding the right of same-sex couples to marry in the state. Advocates for marriage equality were outraged. Still, major gay-rights groups opposed a federal challenge to the law, warning that it would be dangerously premature. A loss could set the movement back for decades. A small group of activists, however, refused to wait. They turned to corporate lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies--best known for arguing opposite sides of Bush v. Gore--who filed a groundbreaking federal suit against the law. A distinguished constitutional law scholar, Kenji Yoshino was also a newly married gay man who at first felt ambivalent about the suit. Nonetheless, he recognized that Chief Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to hold a trial in the case was momentous. Boies and Olson rose to the occasion, deftly deploying arguments that LGBT advocates had honed through years of litigation and debate. Reading the 3,000-page transcript, Yoshino discovered a shining civil rights document--the most rigorous and compelling exploration he had seen of the nature of marriage, the political status of gays and lesbians, the ideal circumstances for raising children, and the inability of direct democracy to protect fundamental rights. After that tense twelve-day trial, Walker issued a resounding and historic ruling: California's exclusion of same-sex couples from civil marriage violated the U.S. Constitution. In June 2013, the United States Supreme Court denied the final appeal in Hollingsworth v. Perry, leaving same-sex couples in California free to marry. Drawing on interviews with lawyers and witnesses on both sides of the case, Yoshino takes us deep inside the trial. He brings the legal arguments to life, not only through his account of the case, but also by sharing his own story of finding love, marrying, and having children. Vivid, compassionate, and beautifully written, Speak Now is both a nuanced and authoritative account of a landmark trial, and a testament to how the clash of proofs in our judicial process can force debates to the ultimate level of clarity"-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hollingsworth, Dennis, $d 1967- $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Perry, Kristin $x Trials, litigation, etc. 610 10 $a United States. $t Defense of Marriage Act. 610 10 $a California. $t Proposition 8 (2008) 650 0 $a Same-sex marriage $x Law and legislation $z United States $v Cases. 650 0 $a Gay couples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States $v Cases. 600 17 $a Hollingsworth, Dennis, $d 1967- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01914209 600 17 $a Perry, Kristin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01916143 630 07 $a Defense of Marriage Act (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01387496 630 07 $a Proposition 8 (California : 2008) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01916308 650 7 $a Gay couples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939083 650 7 $a Same-sex marriage $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01104557 650 7 $a Trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156290 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 600 17 $a Hollingsworth, Dennis, $d 1967- $v Trials, litigation, etc. $2 nli 600 17 $a Perry, Kristin $v Trials, litigation, etc. $2 nli 610 17 $a United States. $t Defense of Marriage Act. $2 nli 610 17 $a California. $t Proposition 8 (2008) $2 nli 650 7 $a Same-sex marriage $x Law and legislation $z United States $v Cases. $2 nli 650 7 $a Gay couples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States $v Cases. $2 nli 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712 941 $a 2 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010946.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210612010248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72FD6088CB4311EBA9DAFC9331ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
