In Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the Supreme Court of the United States held that same-sex couples throughout the country had the right to marry. The ruling was the culmination of a decades-long struggle to gain the legal right for gay and lesbian couples to wed. This compelling book takes the reader through the ups and downs of the marriage equality movement, from the 1990s to the current era, from the first same-sex couples to have their marriage license applications rejected to the changing attitudes that led to every individual having the right that was once reserved only for some.

Gr 7 Up-Thoroughly researched, these well-written books offer balanced explorations of everything from the early history of the LGBTQ+ movement to the AIDS crisis to marriage equality. Information is primarily organized chronologically, but detailed sidebars and captioned archival photographs break up the text, leading readers on forays into interesting, related topics. There is enough overlap between the titles to make each stand strongly on its own; as a whole, the series offers a comprehensive picture of the movement. Beyond Gender Binaries and The Early History of the Gay Rights Movement are two standouts, discussing topics that are generally glossed over in other books that explore similar subject matter. VERDICT The six titles in this series work together to provide an in-depth look at the LGBTQ+ movement. Highly recommended for middle school and high school collections.
