Marilyn Humphries's stunning photos show what the struggle for
equality looks like and what it feels like. [The authors] have
documented an important piece of America's ongoing efforts to end
discrimination against gay people and same-sex couples.—Mary L.
Bonauto, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, lead counsel,
Goodridge v. Department of Public Health
"What stands out in this masterful and nuanced collection of
photographs-and the politically astute accompanying text-are the
individual efforts over many years that led to the collective
triumph for same-sex marriage."—Charlotte Abbott, the Advocate
"The pictures of protests and rallies-both the pro and the anti
forces swarming with energy-make you feel like you're witnessing a
combination of the American Revolution and a sizzling Red Sox
game."—Mopsy Strange Kennedy, Improper Bostonian
"A remarkable chronicle of exactly how social change happens.
Marilyn Humphries's vivid photographic documentation of the fight
for same-sex marriage hardly needs any elaboration, but Kahn and
Gozemba's accompanying legal history is riveting. Words and
pictures together create a moving, human portrait of representative
democracy at work." —Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home and Dykes
