Obergefell V. Hodges
Hardback
Publication Date: 30/12/2016
In 2013, Jim Obergefell and John Arthur married in Maryland after twenty years together. But Obergefelt's home state of Ohio was one of the states that refused to marry same-sex couples or recognize out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses Believing that same-sex marriage would not mean anything unless it was legal throughout the entire United States, Obergefell and Arthur filed a federal lawsuit asking that the state be required to recognize their marriage. After an appeals process and consolidation with several other cases, Obergefell v, Hodges reached the US Supreme Court, and on a June 26, 2015, the "dignity of marriage" was granted to same-sex couples all across the country. This book provides insight into the details of the case, including, the arguments for and against same-sex marriage, its legacy, and also an excerpt from the majority ruling. Book jacket.
