Bonauto was named a MacArthur fellow for her work “breaking down legal barriers based on sexual orientation,” the MacArthur Foundation writes. In 2003, Bonauto led the court fight for same-sex marriage rights in Massachusetts, and played key roles in expanding gay rights across New England through her work with Boston-based Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders.

“No gay person in this country would be married without Mary Bonauto,” Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer who argued before the Supreme Court same-sex marriage case, told The New York Times last year.

Bonauto is a graduate of Northeastern University School of Law.
