Author Talk: Sasha Issenberg ON ZOOM
June 22, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join author Sasha Issenberg for a discussion of his book The Engagement: America’s Quarter-Century Struggle Over Same-Sex Marriage.
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, making same-sex unions legal across the United States. But the road to that momentous decision was much longer than many know. In this definitive account, Sasha Issenberg vividly guides us through same-sex marriage’s unexpected path from the unimaginable to the inevitable.
