David Boies and Theodore B. Olson, who argued against each other all the way to the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, joined forces after that titanic battle to forge the unique legal argument that would carry the day. At the Society as allies and not foes, they will tell the fascinating story of the five-year struggle to win the right for gays to marry, from Proposition 8’s adoption by voters in 2008, to its defeat before the highest court in the land in Hollingsworth v. Perry in 2013.
On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a pair of landmark decisions, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and eliminating California’s discriminatory Proposition 8, reinstating the freedom to marry for gays and lesbians in California.
The evening will be authoritative, dramatic, and up close account of the most important civil rights issue, fought and won, since Brown v. Board of Education (which separate schools for African Americans and Whites was ruled unconstitutional)  and Loving v. Virginia (which invalidated law prohibiting interracial marriage).
Boies and Olson will discuss how they put state sanctioned discrimination on trial.
