Thank you for helping to document a truly historic event. My mother let me know about this site. I had just sent her some pictures of my church’s participation in a Dallas area Pride parade. Every year I meet more people who are happy to welcome gay, lesbian and transgender people into their lives. Keep up the fight for true equality. I have seen significant progress in my short time on this planet.

My congratulations to all who helped bring this gift into existence — not least to the designer of this website, which allows us to learn from others.
We will celebrate this creative work tonight here in Silver Spring, Maryland, and we invite all our friends and well-wishers in Massachusetts to “hold us in the light” as we continue the fight in Maryland. Our high court voted last month in favor of straight privilege and continuing injustice, by a 4 to 3 majority. This reversed a favorable lower court ruling in Baltimore, which would have issued marriage licenses and allowed all Maryland citizens to marry. That means the fight for relationship rights moves to our legislature during the general assembly of 2008. I hope we can find resources to put a copy of “Courting Equality” into the hands of every Maryland state Senator and Delegate.

Pat, Karen and Marilyn you have accomplished something wonderful with your book “Courting Equality”. We can now read an historically accurate, beautifully photographed and documented book, about America’s shameful negligence and predjudice toward US Gays & lesbians desiring the same constitutional rights as everybody else. Congratulations, the book is fabulous and you are all wonderful!

How often do I know before the event that my heart will break open?! I know from my own work how words and images combine to heal people and relationships. Your book is a testament to courage, dignity, faith and hard work. May it make easier the work still to do.I am ordering now!! Thank you!

Pat, thanks for telling me about this. Congrats
to you, Karen and Marilyn. I can’t wait to see and read it and see Marilyn Pics. I have seen a lot of women joined in Civil Union. I hope someday all the states will recognize same sex marriage.

I got my copy at the May 16 event in Cambridge. The event itself was amazing — all that positive energy in the room! ANd the book is phenomenal; there’s something about seeing so many photos, all together in one book, that helps me reach a deeper understanding of how much we as a community have achieved, how far we have come. And how much effort it has taken.

Congratulations! I wish very much that Ashby and I could attend (especially since we live right around the corner in Charlestown!) but I’ll be at my brother’s graduation in MO. Best wishes for the event! Can’t wait to pick up my copy…

I would like to put in an order for this book. Do I have to wait until after the 16th of May? BWG
