With the constant legal and legislative changes affecting same-sex couples across the country, it might seem an impossible feat to keep track.
In The Geography of Love: Same-Sex Marriage & Relationship Recognition in America (The Story in Maps), authors Mike Strong and Peter Nicolas do just that. They offer a concise view of the political landscape regarding gay marriage. And they do so in a unique way: offering visual representations of votes and legal rights.
The 42-page book outlines the struggle surrounding civil unions, domestic partnerships and same-sex marriage since the 1970’s.Without the spin of most controversial issues, the authors lay out the facts, the challenges to the law, and the history of those challenges from both sides.
