A trial that legalized same-sex marriage in our most populous state. A trial that interrogated the nature of marriage, the political status of gays and lesbians, the ideal circumstances for raising children, and the ability of direct democracy to protect fundamental rights. A trial that stands as the most potent argument for marriage equality this nation has ever seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In telling the story of \u003ci\u003eHollingsworth v.

Above all, this book is a work of deep humanity, in which Yoshino brings abstract legal arguments to life by sharing his own story of finding love, marrying, and having children as a gay man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Intellectually rigorous and profoundly compassionate, \u003ci\u003eSpeak Now\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive account of a landmark civil-rights trial. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-- Winner, Stonewall Book Award\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Speak Now: Marriage Equality on Trial | Kenji Yoshino | Paperback | 9780385348829 | New | Queer Studies 1755616","offer_id":49185437548696,"sku":"1755616","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61EpM7I9diL.jpg?v=1780326156","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/speak-now-marriage-equality-on-trial","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
