First comes love, then comes marriage ? unless, of course, you're gay. But when
San Francisco's mayor, Gavin Newsom, ordered City Hall to begin issuing marriage
licenses to same-sex couples on February 12th, thousands of gays and lesbians
from around the world lined up to take their vows, inspiring other cities to
follow suit. As intense public debate continues, We Do is an intimate portrait
of these history-making weddings. A many-splendored thing, love is captured here
in all its joy and diversity. Drawing on ceremonies from around the country,
here are weddings both traditional and unconventional, whether the brides and
grooms are in flowing white gowns, business suits, or blue jeans. The result is
a touching album of happy couples from the two lesbians who've been together 51
years to dads with babes in arms. A joyful celebration, We Do stands witness to
the fact that we are all created equal in love.
Traveling all across the United States, Eric Marcus met and interviewed forty
gay and lesbian couples who have achieved the dream of a happy, lasting
relationship. In Together Forever, Marcus writes about their lives and the
secrets to long-term happiness these couples have learned over the nine to fifty
years they've been together. Their true-life success stories show by example
that lasting love is not reserved for the chosen few. Taking us on a journey
from the high desert of southern California to the cliffs of northern New
Jersey, Marcus invites us into the lives the remarkable and remarkably ordinary
people he's met.
