Second Place: "Kiss"
 |
| Thomas Cordova/Inland Valley Daily Bulletin | Alison Bowen, left, and Laurie Roades, right, share a kiss after their wedding ceremony at the Altadena Community Church in Altadena September 6, 2008. This is a story of girl meets girl. Girl falls in love with girl. Girl marries girl. But it's a tale not so easy to tell, partly because the ending is still being crafted. Eight years ago, more than 60 percent of California voters thought same-sex couples like Rancho Cucamonga residents Roades and Bowen should not be allowed to marry. In May, the California Supreme Court made a landmark decision by calling marriage a "fundamental right" for gays and lesbians. On Nov. 4, voters will have a chance to reverse that opinion. "We're not asking for special rights, we're asking for the same rights," Roades said. "Gays and lesbians are people we work with, people we live by. I have to trust that voters will not want to rewrite the Constitution and eliminate rights from people." This is indeed a watershed in the history of gay rights. Yet Roades and Bowen's love story, like many other same-sex couples', is rather quotidian. Copyright: Daily Bulletin |
