On April 3, 2009, a decision by the Iowa Supreme Court made Iowa the third state in the nation to permit same-sex couples to marry. "Equal Before The Law" tells the stories behind this issue and traces the decision's impact. Longtime, award-winning reporters Witosky and Hansen talked with and researched dozens of key figures – politicians, lawyers, and the people personally involved, and show that no one should have been surprised by the 2009 decision. Witosky and Hansen discuss their experiences writing this historic book.
