Ball, Carlos A.

The underlying question remains: Are corporations friends or foes? Ball’s history is sure to be controversial and will be of interest to social activists of all stripes.

Ball provides a solid reference for both those arguing in favor of LGBTQ parental rights and those seeking to understand the legal arguments advanced by those advocating for them. Recommended.

While other recent books on LGBT court cases offer broader coverage, such as Susan Gluck Mezey's Queers in Court: Gay Rights, Law and Public Policy, no other book covers this particular set of cases. This will be of particular interest as the California gay marriage case wends its way through the courts and "don't ask, don't tell" features prominently in the news.
