Bravo! Absolutely thrilling...and far beyond other books that explore little more than a snapshot in a decades-long journey, yet claim title to "the definitive account of the fight to win the rights of marriage and full citizenship for all....."No book can do that, and humbly Marc Solomon neither attempts that, nor claims that. What he has written has breath-holding tension and suspense, even though we know its outcome...at least as far as its publication date. (And what incredible advances continue!)Solomon has shown the exhausting groundwork and achievements of literally thousands of people and countless legal cases that have been the foundation of the seismic advancement of gay marriage. He shares credit generously, never fawning, and does so with a masterful delivery, panoramic in scope. It is a work that we can justly cite for its in-depth, honest contribution to LGBTQ history.One point I take issue with, though, and it is NOT a minor point at all. Mr. Solomon, it must be an unimaginable challenge to credit so many participants and achievements, but you seriously omitted one major, even historic luminary. Should another edition be forthcoming, I sincerely hope you will correct the unfortunate exclusion.You took Barack Obama to task for his choice of the phobic Rick Warren as Inaugural Poet in 2009. Justly so. The man was an insult to our community.In contrast, Richard Blanco was Obama's 2nd Inaugural Poet in 2013, only the 5th in the history of our nation. Latino, he is not only the youngest, he is openly gay. Your omission was ungracious. It is not only Mr. Blanco's brilliance that shone that day, it was the blatant, unabashed reflection of a President who had, finally, "evolved."
