Arrested for sodomy, Hardwick sued for his right to privacy all the way to the Supreme Court, as the HIV/AIDS epidemic spiraled. When he lost, his era-defining case inspired a half-million people to protest against the Court. Today <em>Bowers v. Hardwick</em> continues to reverberate as the rights of privacy underpinning abortion, contraception, and same-sex relationships come under fire.</p><p>In this fiercely empathetic blend of biography and history, Martin Padgett tells the story of Hardwicks lifeas a child of Stonewall, as an artist, and as one of thousands claimed by the epidemic. <em>The Many Passions of Michael Hardwick</em> reveals the halting shifts of American sexual politics, poses urgent questions about the Supreme Court, and returns to Hardwick some of the humanity stolen from him.</p>...6994119The Many Passions of Michael Hardwick513513https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-many-passions-of-michael-hardwick-9798331986940/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6947014/image.jpg?v=638768779257030000InStockMXN99999PR_DIAudiolibro2025Inglés
