520 "A renowned legal scholar tells the definitive story of
Hollingsworth v. Perry, the trial that will stand as the
most potent argument for marriage equality. In 2008,
California voters passed Proposition 8, rescinding the
right of same-sex couples to marry in the state. Advocates
for marriage equality were outraged. Still, major gay-
rights groups opposed a federal challenge to the law,
warning that it would be dangerously premature. A loss
could set the movement back for decades. A small group of
activists, however, refused to wait. They turned to
corporate lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies--best known
for arguing opposite sides of Bush v. Gore--who filed a
groundbreaking federal suit against the law. A
distinguished constitutional law scholar, Kenji Yoshino
was also a newly married gay man who at first felt
ambivalent about the suit. Nonetheless, he recognized that
Chief Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to hold a trial in
the case was momentous. Boies and Olson rose to the
occasion, deftly deploying arguments that LGBT advocates
had honed through years of litigation and debate. Reading
the 3,000-page transcript, Yoshino discovered a shining
civil rights document--the most rigorous and compelling
exploration he had seen of the nature of marriage, the
political status of gays and lesbians, the ideal
circumstances for raising children, and the inability of
direct democracy to protect fundamental rights. After that
tense twelve-day trial, Walker issued a resounding and
historic ruling: California's exclusion of same-sex
couples from civil marriage violated the U.S.
Constitution. In June 2013, the United States Supreme
Court denied the final appeal in Hollingsworth v. Perry,
leaving same-sex couples in California free to marry.
Drawing on interviews with lawyers and witnesses on both
sides of the case, Yoshino takes us deep inside the trial.
He brings the legal arguments to life, not only through
his account of the case, but also by sharing his own story
of finding love, marrying, and having children. Vivid,
compassionate, and beautifully written, Speak Now is both
a nuanced and authoritative account of a landmark trial,
and a testament to how the clash of proofs in our judicial
process can force debates to the ultimate level of
clarity"--|cProvided by publisher.
