A Pleasure

It was a pleasure to work with Glenn and Steve on this project. They have a beautiful and loving family. I was mostly impressed by how public their lives were. Steve is a politician and that line of work can put strain on any family. Steve is an openly gay politician which I find interesting because a community is okay with a gay man “molding the minds of their children” (he is on the school board) but don’t think he deserves the right to marry the man he loves and the father of his children. Further, Glenn and Steve have done numerous public appearances including photo spreads of their family. I feel like this is a testament to the bond within their family. This reminds me of the constant awareness of the perception they give off. They are spokes people for their cause; and proudly so. I am so very impressed by the initiative to put their family out in the public eye as an example of the love and compassion this family has. After sharing the lives of these two remarkable men, it is hard for me to understand who would find this kind of relationship and family un-natural.
Thank you,
Mandy
