Over two decades of research became a one-of-a-kind collection:
LOVE: The Heroic Stories of Marriage Equality (Rizzoli, 2025), named by Oprah Daily one of six books that “illuminates a pathforward.” reveals how people once isolated and hidden found one another, came out, and grew into a global community capable of changing laws, and culture.
People from a wide range of age, race, faith, gender, and gender identity moved millions from fear to understanding, from division to compassion, and from exclusion to belonging and joy.
LOVE is the foundation of JustMarried's storytelling ecosystem—we always have access to the stories, lessons, and hard-won knowledge behind the freedoms we inherited, and the tools to protect and build on them.
