As Michael Klarman shows in this book, it is because its proponents have adopted a court-centred approach for advancing their cause.$bSame-sex marriage has become one of the most volatile issues in American politics. But if most young people support gay marriage, and if there are clear indicators that a substantial majority of the population will soon favor it, why has the outcry against it been so strong?Bancroft Prize-winning historian and legal expert Michael Klarman here offers an illuminating and engaging account of modern litigation over same-sex marriage. After looking at the treatment of gays in the decades after World War II and the birth of the modern gay rights movement with the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969, Klarman describes the key legal cases involving gay marriage and the dramatic political backlashes they ignited. He examines the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling in 1993, whichsparked a vast political backlash-with more than 35 states and Congress enacting defense-of-marriage acts-and the Massachusetts decision in Goodridge in 2003, which inspired more than 25 states to adopt constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Klarman traces this same pattern-court victory followed bydramatic backlash-through cases in Vermont, California, and Iowa, taking the story right up to the present. He also describes some of the collateral political damage caused by court decisions in favor of gay marriage-Iowa judges losing their jobs, Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle losing his seat, and the possibly dispositive impact of gay marriage on the 2004 presidential election. But Klarman also notes several ways in which litigation has accelerated the coming of same-sex marriage:forcing people to discuss the issue, raising the hopes and expectations of gay activists, and making other reforms like civil unions seem more moderate by comparison. In the end, Klarman discusses how gay marriage is likely to evolve in the future, predicts how the U.S. Supreme Court might ultimatelyresolve the issue, and assesses the costs and benefits of activists' pursuing social reforms such as gay marriage through the courts. From the Closet to the Altar will stand as the definitive one-volume history of the tumultuous emergence of same-sex marriage in American life as well as a landmark study of litigation, social reform, and the phenomenon of political backlash to court decisions. 606 $aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aGay couples$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aCivil unions$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aGay couples$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory. 615 0$aSame-sex marriage$xLaw and legislation$xStates. 615 0$aCivil unions$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.730168 700 $aKlarman$b Michael J.$0751668 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464088503321 996 $aFrom the closet to the altar$92459129 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04125nam 22006855 450 001 9910337892503321 005 20200703075349.0 010 $a3-030-16361-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-16361-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000008280501 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5780320 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-16361-7 035 $a(PPN)23652433X 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000008280501 100 $a20190524d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFarming Communities in the Western Alps, 1500?1914 $eThe Enduring Bond /$fby Robert Dodgshon 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (184 pages) 225 1 $aHistorical Geography and Geosciences,$x2520-1379 311 $a3-030-16360-1 327 $aIntroduction: Traditional Alpine Communities and the Challenge of Long-term Sustainability -- The Landholding Foundations of Alpine Farming -- Face to the Sun: the Exploitation of Arable -- The Ties that Bind: Livestock Farming in the Western Alps 1500-1914 -- The Alpine Commons: Resource, Regulation and Exploitation 1500-1914 -- The Alpage of the Western Alps -- Coping with Risk 1500-1914 -- Epilogue. 330 $aThis monograph explores traditional farming communities in French-speaking areas of the western Alps for the period 1500-1914 and how they endured in such an environment despite the many problems and risks which it posed for their subsistence and welfare. Using an extensive amount of archival material drawn from the relevant regional archives, the book presents a great deal of fresh data. Its central theme is how such communities responded to the opportunities and challenges presented by the highly variegated environment of their setting. The view taken is that their strategies of exploitation stressed diversity and flexibility, mapping the highly varied ecologies and resource opportunities of their setting into these strategies by spreading livelihood and risk as widely as possible. This interpretative framework is developed across all the book's themes: landholding, arable and livestock sectors, use of the commons and, finally, how communities coped with climate-based risks. The book appeals to geographers, historians, environmental scientists and everyone interested in traditional farming communities and their long-term challenges. 410 0$aHistorical Geography and Geosciences,$x2520-1379 606 $aHistorical geography 606 $aSocial history 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEnvironmental geography 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aHistorical Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J22010 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aEnvironmental Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J19010 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 615 0$aHistorical geography. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental geography. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aHistorical Geography. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aEnvironmental Geography. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a911 676 $a338.1094947 700 $aDodgshon$b Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0276077 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337892503321 996 $aFarming Communities in the Western Alps, 1500?1914$92149508 997 $aUNINA
