Greg Bourke, a plaintiff in the Obergefell v. Hodges case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide six years ago, is coming out with a memoir of his life as a gay Roman Catholic in Kentucky.
Titled "Gay, Catholic, and American: My Legal Battle for Marriage Equality and Inclusion," Bourke's book discusses his dismissal from the Boy Scouts of America in 2012, his role in the U.S.
Supreme Court case, and how he and his husband, Michael DeLeon, have integrated their identity as gay men with their Catholic faith.
The book will be published by the University of Notre Dame Press in September. "We've definitely had our experiences with discrimination, some with the Catholic Church and some with the Boy Scouts," Bourke told the Bay Area Reporter.
