註釋
The past year has seen landmark court rulings in various parts of Canada and the USA making it legal for gay men and lesbian women to be married. The same-sex marriage phenomenon is characterised on the one hand by intense personal joys, and on the other by long-standing activism and impressive legal reasoning. In their own words, couples from across the world tell why they decided to get married, and how this fact has changed their lives. At the same time, the personalities behind the legal fight for equality are profiled. This juxtaposition creates an engaging narrative and provides a remarkable case study of how progressive social change takes place.
