THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE: LITIGATION, ARGUMENTATIVE STRATEGIES, AND COALITIONS IN THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE STRUGGLE MARY ZIEGLER ABSTRACT Why, in the face of ongoing criticism, do advocates of same-sex marriage continue to pursue litigation? Recently, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage, and Gill v. Office of Personnel Management, a lawsuit challenging section three of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, have created divisive debate. Leading scholarship and commentary on the litigation of decisions like Perry and Gill have been strongly critical, predicting that it will produce a backlash that will undermine the same- sex marriage cause. These studies all rely on a particular historical account of past same-sex marriage decisions and their effect on political debate.

Without them, this would be a very lonely road. Alyssa If there’s one thing that we can say about being an ally, it’s this: It is all about the journey. When PFLAG National launched the Straight for Equality program in 2007, the mission was— if you’ll excuse our nearly inexcusable pun—pretty straightforward. We wanted to create a resource and community for people who are not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/ questioning (LGBTQ+) to understand why their voices are critical to achieving equality for all, and provide them with the information and tools to effectively raise their voices. To lead people on the path from “Soooo not my issue…” to one of support (or even Super Ally status), we’d have to start at the very beginning.
