Alderson tells the stories of same-sex couples who have actually gotten married, as well as the behind-the-scenes stories that explain the legal victory that made this all possible.


The same-sex marriage phenomenon is characterized on one hand by intense personal joys and on the other by longstanding activism and historic legal reasoning. "Same-Sex Marriage" tells both stories: the experiences of couples who have been able to marry, and the stories behind the scenes that explain how the legal battle has finally been fought.
