dbo:abstract
  • Mary L. Bonauto (Newburgh, 8 de junio de 1961)​ es una abogada estadounidense y defensora de los derechos civiles que ha trabajado para erradicar la discriminación basada en orientación sexual e identidad de género, y que el representante de los Estados Unidos Barney Frank considera "nuestro Thurgood Marshall". Comenzó a trabajar con la organización Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders con sede en Massachusetts , ahora denominada GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders​ (GLAD) en 1990.​ Residente de Portland, Maine, Bonauto fue una de las líderes que trabajaron con el congreso de Maine para aprobar una ley que regulara el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo y defenderla en las urnas durante la campaña electoral de 2009, que se perdió por un ajustado margen. La iniciativa finalmente tuvo éxito cuando, en las elecciones de 2012, los votantes de Maine aprobaron la medida, convirtiéndolo en el primer estado estadounidense en aprobar por votación licencias de matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo.​ Bonauto es conocida fundamentalmente por ser la abogada principal en el caso Goodridge v. Departamento de Salud Pública que convirtió a Massachusetts en el primer estado en el que las parejas del mismo sexo podían casarse en 2004. También lideró las primeras impugnaciones a la sección tres de la Ley de defensa del matrimonio (DOMA por sus siglas en inglés). El 28 de abril de 2015, Bonauto fue una de los tres abogados que argumentó ante la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos en el Caso Obergefell contra Hodges defendiendo que las prohibiciones estatales del matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo son inconstitucionales. Este caso tan publicitado determinó que las prohibiciones estatales contra el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo son inconstitucionales y se considera uno de los casos de derechos civiles más importantes defendidos ante la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos en la historia moderna.

These efforts were successful when, in the 2012 election, Maine voters approved the measure, making it the first state to allow same-sex marriage licenses via ballot vote. Bonauto is best known for being lead counsel in the case Goodridge v. Department of Public Health which made Massachusetts the first state in which same-sex couples could marry in 2004. She is also responsible for leading the first strategic challenges to section three of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). On April 28, 2015 Bonauto was one of three attorneys who argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges arguing state bans on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. This much-publicized case determined that state bans against same-sex marriage are unconstitutional and is considered one of the most important civil rights cases which came before the U.S. Supreme Court in modern history.
