Produktbeschreibung

Marriage equality and the transformation of gay rights are among the most important and also among the least understood social changes in modern times. In Rainbow after the Storm, Michael J. Rosenfeld provides a comprehensive new and compelling analysis of who made these social changes and how. He relies on many different kinds of evidence to explain why marriage equality has achieved success when other progressive American social movements have stalled.
