FAMED LEGAL DUO APPEARS AT WORDS EVENT TO PROMOTE PRO-GAY MARRIAGE BOOK

Another great Words Bookstore event Wednesday night with attorneys Ted Olson and David Boies, the former rivals in the famed Bush vs. Gore 2000 presidential election recount battle who came together to fight for gay marriage rights.

In town to promote their new book, Redeeming The Dream, which chroniceled their legal battle for two same-sex couples who challenged and beat down California's discriminatory anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, the pair spoke and took questions before signing copies for hundreds who attended.

The duo was so popular the event was moved to Maplewood Middle School.

We were there and recorded a clip of their opening comments about the case and the couples they helped to support.




Too bad the well-known MMS heat box of an auditorium could not be blocked with some air conditioning. Hopefully Words did not have to pay too much to stage the event in the oven-like conditions.
