Description
"What is Love, Equally? Love, Equally celebrates the history of marriage equality with profiles about champions of the cause. Same-sex marriage was won in 2012 after advocates concentrated their message in a single word: love. Legacy Washington interviewed politicians, activists, judges, journalists, and more to bring you the story of how marriage equality came to the Evergreen State."--https://www.sos.wa.gov/legacy/love-equally/lt_Default.aspx
Description
"The success of the marriage equality movement stunned even its advocates. The transformation from 'outlaws to in-laws' was one of [the] swiftest turnarounds in U.S. civil rights history. As recently as 2006, our state law did not prohibit job discrimination against gays and lesbians, and our state Supreme Court banned same-sex marriage. Bruised but not beaten, LGBTQ+ advocates tried a brick-by-brick approach. They got domestic partnerships passed in three phases, capped by an 'everything but marriage' law. Marriage equality landed on Washington's November ballot in 2012. Devastating votes against same-sex marriage in other states-- 31 losses without a win-- informed a new strategy. It would shift debate from the head to the heart."--Back cover.
