Description
Anna Cher Simon and Fran Simon reflect on love, marriage, parenting, and LGBTQ legal advocacy in Colorado. They met through Yahoo online dating in the Bay Area, built a relationship across distance, and moved to Denver after Anna accepted a position with the University of Denver and Denver Botanic Gardens. They describe buying a home, holding a Jewish wedding ceremony in 2005, becoming parents, and navigating costly legal work to protect their family before marriage equality. Their story follows civil-union testimony, public visibility through One Colorado, political setbacks, family acceptance, and the emotional labor of fighting for equal recognition.
