Thanks for the link. I teared up reading it too. My favorite line was the Irishwoman's comment, "They're an example to heterosexuals everywhere."

Martin and Lyon are. Their book was the first one I ever read about the EXISTENCE of same-sex relationships. I think I may have been 16 at the time, and I can't remember where I got it -- just that it was terribly battered by the time I did. Probably at a (Unitarian) Church rummage sale... They have spent a lifetime as heroes -- pretty much started the Domestic Violence movement as well. Hoist a glass!
