Publisher's Summary
Roberta Kaplan's gripping story of her defeat of the Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA) before the Supreme Court.
Attorney Roberta Kaplan knew it was the perfect case. Edie Windsor and
Thea Spyer had stayed together, for better or worse, for 44 years -
battling through society's homophobia and Spyer's paralysis from MS.
The couple married in Canada in 2007, but when Spyer died two years
later, the US government refused to recognize their marriage, forcing
Windsor to pay a huge estate tax.
In this landmark work, Kaplan describes her strategy in the lower courts
and her preparation and rehearsals before moot courts, and she shares
insights into the dramatic oral argument before the Supreme Court justices.
Then Comes Marriage is the story of the relationship behind the watershed
case, Kaplan's own difficult coming-out journey, and the fascinating
unfolding of United States v. Windsor. Full of never-before-told details,
this is the momentous account of a thrilling historic and political
victory for gay rights.
