As we mark Pride Month and the anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling that legalized gay marriage, Mo News looks at the incredible history and journey of the issue.

In less than 25 years, public opinion and laws shifted on same-sex marriage at record speed. Mosheh speaks with journalist Sasha Issenberg, the author of "The Engagement," which documents how the issue got to the nation's highest court.

They spoke about the twists and turns in the struggle--including the debate within the LGBTQ community whether to even pursue marriage equality. Sasha discusses the role of politics, corporations, Hollywood, religious groups and money in the lead up to the landmark 2015 court decision.
