Nathaniel Frank tells the dramatic story of how an idea that once seemed unfathomable--and for many gays and lesbians undesirable--became a legal and moral right in just half a century. Awakening begins in the s, when millions of gays and lesbians were afraid to come out, let alone fight for equal treatment.
Across the social upheavals of the next two decades, a gay rights movement emerged with the rising awareness that same-sex love is equal to love everywhere. As movement leaders and ordinary gay people created new communities, alliances, and ideas, a tight-knit cadre of mostly gay and lesbian lawyers began to focus on legal recognition for same-sex couples, eventually creating a long-term strategy to win marriage rights in the courts.
The Long Arc of Justice will be valuable to both beginners and specialists. Even those who disagree with Mohr will have to concede the care and power of his arguments. The Long Arc of Justice is a vital book for our times. It is eloquent in its articulation of the dignity with which lesbians and gay men lead their lives. It also thoughtful in its exploration of concepts, such as liberty and equality, that serve as the moral and legal foundations for gay rights positions.
