At fourteen years old I stood on the lawn of Cambridge City Hall on the evening of May 16th 2004. At midnight, when the calendar turned over to May17th, the city began issuing their first marriage licenses to gay couples. This is the story of hearing the silence that is our silence as the kids raised up in the gay marriage era.
Our gay families, just like everything in our histories, impact the people that we are in daily, meaningful ways. However, I do not yet know how. So this is where I begin.
