I remember looking around at City Hall and everywhere you looked there were families that were just full of joy. You could feel the energy.

Finally, we arrived at June 23, 2016, when the United States Supreme Court said that those Prop 8 proponents had no standing. And, on June 28, 2013, I was back at San Francisco City Hall where I had the honor of performing the marriage of Ms. Kris Perry and Ms. Sandy Stier.

Valentine’s Day in 2004 my dog was reaching the end of her life. So we were sad, but on April 24th that year, we adopted another dog and she has brought us much joy! She is an old lady now, but still brings us joy!
