Join us for MinnPost Live: A Conversation with Sasha Issenberg, presented in partnership with OutFront Minnesota, on Thursday, June 17, at 12 p.m. CT. Author Sasha Issenberg will discuss his new book, “The Engagement,” which tells the expansive story of the struggle over same-sex marriage in the United States, from the first legal same-sex weddings in Massachusetts to the epic face-off over California’s Proposition 8 and, finally, to several landmark Supreme Court decisions. MinnPost Editor Andy Putz will moderate the conversation.
