Book provides five stories ("family" for NYC rent law, school harassment, discrimination/Romer v. Evans, marriage/Hawaii, sex/Lawrence v. Texas) of key gay rights lawsuits. "Stories" is appropriate since it is not merely about the law/public effects but also the life stories of the litigants and the (mostly gay and lesbian) lawyers involved. Published in 2010. A few years later, Hawaii passed a law protecting SSM and one of the litigants in the old marriage case finally got to marry a woman, if not the one she originally wanted. The presiding officer was a judge, who served as her lawyer back in the day.
