Book Synopsis
Since the 1990s, gay and lesbian civil rights organizations have increasingly focused on the right of same-sex couples to marry, which represents a major change from earlier activists' rejection of the institution. This title explores this shift and its connections to the transformation of the US from a welfare state to a neo-liberal one.

Trade Review
"Decades from now, when historians reflect on today's same-sex marriage debate, The Nuptial Deal will provide an empirically based narrative of what was really going on in the lives and minds of activists and of ordinary people caught up in the political and personal hopes and struggles over marriage in the United States." (Christopher Carrington, San Francisco State University)"
