Description
Two years later—after tense battles in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas and in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, after sitting through oral arguments on the Supreme Court of the US in Obergefell v. Hodges—they won the correct to marry deep in the heart of Texas. But the road they traveled used to be never easy. Accidental Activists is the deeply moving story of two men who struggled to succeed in the dignity of which Justice Anthony Kennedy spoke in a series of Supreme Court decisions that recognized the “personhood,” the crucial humanity of gays and lesbians.
Writer David Collins tells Mark and Vic’s story in the context of legal and social history and explains the complex legal issues and developments surrounding same-sex marriage in layman’s terms.
