Same-sex marriage has become one of the most volatile issues in American politics
But if most young people support gay marriage, and if there are clear indicators that a substantial majority of the population will soon favor it, why has the outcry against it been so strong?

Klarman traces this same pattern-court victory followed by dramatic backlash-through cases in Vermont, California, and Iowa, taking the story right up to the present
He also describes some of the collateral political damage caused by court decisions in favor of gay marriage-Iowa judges losing their jobs, Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle losing his seat, and the possibly dispositive impact of gay marriage on the 2004 presidential election
