On feminism, marriage equality, and my impending marriage
My impending marriage has certainly forced me to confront expectations, and to articulate and affirm the values and ideas which I hold most dear.

In the process, I have become even firmer in my support of these two positions. Why has my position on feminism and marriage equality been strengthened? I’ll explain.
