On June 24, 2009, following the California Supreme Court ruling on Strauss v. Horton, 
David Boies joined former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, the opposing attorney in Bush v. Gore, in the lawsuit Perry v. Schwarzenegger seeking to overturn the state of California’s Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage.
Boies and Olson discuss why they joined efforts in this case in their new book, Redeeming the Dream.
