Truly highlights policy in everyday life

I assigned this book for a course I'm teaching on social policy and the LGBT community and my students love it.

This book will obviously continue to grow outdated in terms of policy changes in the courts and legislature. But it will remain useful as a snapshot of all the areas in which policy and politics touches our lives.
