7,000 Strong - stories of couples at the forefront of the struggle for gay & lesbian marriage

The PurpleUnions.com GLBT Wedding Directory Presents:

7,000 strong is a reference to the first 7,000+ gay & lesbian couples who received marriage licenses (and their supporters) in the United States in 2004, before Massachusetts became the first state to make gay marriage legal statewide.

Since then, close to 30,000 couples have married legally in Massachusetts, California, and now Connecticut..Here, some of them tell their individual stories.
