Every June we celebrate
LGBT Pride Month and in about two weeks we will celebrate the one-year
anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges which made marriage
equality the law of the land, and while we all will never forget where we were
that day when we heard the news and how we celebrated it, not as many of us are
aware of the inside of story of the events that led up to that historic
day. Now, in their new book Love Wins: The Lovers and Lawyers Who Fought the Landmark Case for Marriage Equality Pulitzer Prize–winning
investigative journalist Debbie Cenziper
and Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in
the case, re-create the events and legal precedent that began in Cincinnati
shortly after the Windsor decision
and would eventually go all the way to the highest court in the land, and they
join me now in studio to talk all about the book and the historic case and
decision.
