Same-Sex Marriage
Sometimes we over-estimate the difficulties of changing the world. When The Independent was founded, in 1986, the idea that same-sex couples in Britain would one day enjoy the same rights to matrimony as heterosexual ones was barely thinkable: not because there was anything improbable about the concept itself, but because the required changes to the status quo seemed too mountainous. It has been said many times that journalism is the first draft of history. This book allows to you consider history as it happened. It is, in that sense, an important document. But it is, above all, a moving narrative of human hope and decency - which is arguably all the more moving when you know that, despite all the setbacks, there is a happy ending.
