      abstract = {Same-sex marriage has become one of the defining social  issues in contemporary U.S. politics. State court decisions  finding in favor of same-sex relationship equality claims  have been central to the issue's ascent from nowhere to  near the top of the national political agenda. This book  tells the story of the legal and cultural shift, its  backlash, and how it has evolved over the past 15 years.   There is a clear story of jurisprudential evolution with  regards to same-sex marriage from Hawaii, through Vermont,  Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, and,  remarkably, Iowa in 2009. This book aids in a classroom  examination of the legal, political, and social  developments surrounding the issue of same-sex marriage in  the United States. It provides an account of the litigation  for same-sex marriage, and its successes and failures.},
