Thanks for using my photo, Texas Observer (@TexasObserver) in this story about a far-fetched, yet real situation playing out in Houston, Texas, involving disregard of the law of the land around marriage equality. Love Always Wins.

I enjoy seeing the way this photograph (the most viewed photograph in my collection in 10 years) has been used. In the beginning, it adorned stories about hope, freedom, and achievement of controlling one’s destiny (one of the most important things a human being needs). Then, it started to adorn stories about fear and struggle. Now, it is again being used to illustrate people working to control their destiny. Love Wins, 100% of the time.

Two years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, Texas couples are still fighting for marriage equality in court.
