I remember March 2nd, 2004 like it was yesterday. I was volunteering at the local community radio station when I heard about Multnomah County's decision to allow same sex couples to marry. I couldn't contain my glee. I jumped up and down and like a little kid who is just told she can have a puppy. The gay and lesbian marriages in San Francisco received more publicity, but more than 3,000 gay and lesbian couples married in Portland during March 2004. Now you can read about the marriages of March. Beren deMotier has written a moving memoir of those exciting days.

Excellent book, her blog makes a good read as well!
