"My Uncle's Wedding is the sweet story of Uncle Mike and Uncle Steve's wedding as experienced through the eyes of their nephew, Andy. This children's book is the perfect gift for any child who loves a good story and especially children with gay people in their family. The author approaches the subject of same-sex marriage with a child's sensitivity and sensibility, and the beautiful illustrations are sure to be enjoyed by kids and parents alike."

"My Uncle's Wedding" celebrates love from a young nephew's point of view of his favorite uncle's beautiful wedding. Eric Ross has written a wonderful, heartwarming and important book in today's climate -- a beautiful educational tool for children -- showing that all love is equal and good."

Join us for a very special post-Valentine's Day, Freedom to Marry Week. Dr. Davina Kotulski, the former executive director of Marriage Equality USA, reads from her new book, Love Warriors, an exploration on the social benefits of marriage equality. Only at A Different Light.

Praise:
"Love Warriors illustrates how society is best served when all loving couples who want to settle down are all able to do so through the civil institution of marriage.” —Mark Leno, California Leader

“If you want your opinions about the most important social issue of our time based on reason and facts this book is your MUST READ.” —Don Clark, Ph.D. author, Loving Someone Gay

Kotulski and her “unlawfully wedded” wife, Molly McKay, were active in the fight against Proposition 8 and both were featured speakers at a Post Prop 8 rally at the California Capital on November 8th. Their marriage was upheld by the California State Supreme Court in May 2009. They were awarded Community Grand Marshals in the 2009 San Francisco Pride Parade and they continue to fight for marriage equality and LGBT rights world wide.
