RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory Disney-Britton

In January 2008, Ernest and I drove 523 icy miles to be married in Niagara Falls, Canada because we didn't have that freedom in our home states of Ohio or Indiana. When we returned, his cousin questioned, "Why would you do that if it doesn't matter here?" Our response came in June of that year when we moved Ernest to NYC to begin working on the national campaign for the Freedom to Marry. Now, seven years later, that fight is over, and that's why "Let Freedom Ring, The Wedding Bells" (above) by Tom Torluemke is my NEWS OF WEEK.
