Adam & Steve

Adam More is a successful wedding planner. His life partner, Steven Worth, is a writer for The (Gay) New York Times. Life is good until Adam realizes that he is spending his life planning for others something that he is forbidden by law to have for himself, a wedding! The fight for marriage equality is on. Adam quits planning weddings and decides to boycott all weddings until he and Steve are able to have a wedding of their own.

Inspired by his partner's convictions, Steven writes a series of articles about the boycott for the newspaper. Others begin to join the cause; florists, caterers, bakers... When a trade show for the wedding industry comes to town, Adam and Steven organize a peaceful protest.

Our heroes find their resolve tested when Adam's sister and Steven's brother announce their engagement. Should Adam and Steven make an exception and attend their siblings' wedding? Will their decisions about attending draw them closer together or drive them apart?

This book is a lighthearted look at the very serious issue of marriage equality. Never preachy and full of delightful characters, both gay and straight, it drives home all the reasons why marriage rights should be extended to all loving couples. If you are a member of the LGBT community or a straight ally this book is a must-read. If you are on the fence about marriage equality, please read this book with an open mind. It may open your eyes as well.

I have one request for author, Ken O'Neill. Since marriage equality is now a reality in New York state, can we have a sequel, pretty please?
