Erin & Reyna

We met 15 years ago in San Diego, California. We have made it through moves, immigration battles and everyday trials and tribulations. We were legally married in New York City on November 5th, 2012. Hurricane Sandy almost got in the way of that but we managed to make it happen. After 15 years together we are stronger than ever.

Bo & Christophe

We are a bi national couple. One is American and one is French. Met and have been in a committed and loving relationship since April 2008. Unfortunately, because of immigration, we are separated a lot and live apart in our respective countries. But we see each other as much as possible. We are so hopeful that the US Supreme court will strike down this hateful DOMA and that immigration reforms will include LGBT couples like us so we can at last marry and live in the same country.
