The subject moved to the forefront of mainstream public debate in 2004, when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom began authorizing same-sex marriage licenses, and it has remained in the forefront through three presidential campaigns and numerous state ballot initiatives. In this thorough analysis, Leigh Moscowitz examines how prominent news outlets presented this issue from 2003 to 2012, a time when intense news coverage focused unprecedented attention on gay and lesbian life.Gay rightsPress coverageUnited StatesGay people in mass mediaSame-sex marriagePress coverageUnited StatesGay rightsPress coverageGay people in mass media.Same-sex marriagePress coverage306.8480973Moscowitz Leigh1534821MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789592403321The battle over marriage3782632UNINA
