Civil Marriage | Civil Right

Preserving our marriage and protecting other same-sex couples right to marry is very important to both Gary and I. After some deep soul searching we decided that if we didn't try to do something, we would end up losing everything. We came up with the idea of reaching out to the public by offering up our private struggle.

Below are a list of articles in which Gary and I attempt to open up and explain in our way why allowing us to marry was the best thing Massachusetts ever did for itself and for us. We hope you enjoy our story and just maybe it will begin a conversation in your own home.
