Riassunto

Today we find ourselves at a crossroads of two powerful, unrelenting currents completely at odds with one another. The movement for legal recognition of same-sex unions demands equality in marriage for all couples. Meanwhile, opposition to same-sex marriage has also been gathering strength. This three-volume set clarifies the legal, political, religious, cultural, and social ramifications of same-sex marriage for gay and lesbian couples and their families and friends, and for the general public interested in the future of civil rights in the United States.
