Reseña del libro "Sex Appealed Was the Supreme Court Fooled? (en Inglés)"
This book is about sex.This book is about the institutional power to grant or deny sex.This book details how far human beings are willing to go to achieve a goal. This is a book about the extremes of every passion, including murder.When Deputy Joseph Richard Quinn and three other veteran Harris County sheriff's deputies with guns drawn, burst into a southeast Houston apartment the night of September 17, 1998, searching for a black male with a gun, their shocking discovery in the back bedroom triggered a chain of events resulting in a June 26, 2003, U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas-that state laws criminalizing consensual, adult sodomy are unconstitutional.Sex Appealed is an intriguing portrayal of the events surrounding that September night, and the aftermath. It is a nonfiction narrative of jealousy, risk, betrayal, ambition, political maneuvering, and murder. Sex Appealed re-counts the passionate devotion of an elite Ivy League team fielded by a New York-based, national homosexual rights organization, whose legal skill resulted in the high court's controversial 6-3 decision favoring Lawrence, and over-turning a 17-year Supreme Court precedent to the contrary.
