Review Quotes: "All of the snags and triumphs in Accidental Activists serve to reinforce a story much broader than marriage equality. It is the story of 'good' vs. 'evil, ' and it unfolds on every scale. . . . Moral and emotional transparency is what made the plaintiffs, in the eyes of a majority of the judges, full 'persons, ' and, as such, they should no longer be victimized but treated with dignity under the law."--The Common Reader
