"In a time when much of the country sees red whenever the subject of gay marriage comes up, Dan Savage, outspoken author of the popular column "Savage Love," takes it on and makes it personal. As he comes to terms with the very public act of marriage, he draws us into the foibles and fealty of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, and, especially, spouses. Book jacket.""
