I won this book from Goodreads. It was a funny and thoughtful memoir concerning the topic of marriage equality and the author's own experiences leading up to his marriage. I would highly recommend this book. It would be interesting to find out his thoughts on the reversal of DOMA. Maybe that will be in a future book!

As you can tell, there’s quite a bit of humor involved throughout this memoir. And… I thought my family was sick and twisted. I’m still snickering over the word fertilizer. So, with that in mind, and the fact that someone had the ability to stir up some of that gray matter called my brain, and they reminded me again why I’m still married, I’m giving this one 5 Stars

Not QUITE as funny as Derfner's first two books, but makes up for that with a rather astonishing depth. Derfner not only presents a cogent argument in favor of same sex marriage, but does so by presenting some interesting historical, religious and political facts that are hard to dismiss. Intertwined is his own fascinating story of getting his partner of seven years to the altar (... or chuppah actually!) and all the mishaps along the way ... let's just say that though there is no doubt that Mike and Joel love each other, they are more Lucy and Ricky than the ideal poster children for marriage, gay or otherwise.
