June is traditionally considered the month for weddings, and for people who make their money in photography, wedding planning, making wedding dresses and DJing, this is the beginning of the time that they make their money.
Trans folks get married, too. Unfortunately over the last few decades we have had to fight tooth and nail in courts in Texas and around the world just to have the right to say 'I do' as witnessed in cases like
Delgado v. Araguz, Ms. W in Hong Kong, and Joanne Cassar's in Malta.
One of the other things that I have been so happy to see besides the landmark marriage case wins is continuing to see trans folks hooking up with each other in long term relationships that end up with them saying 'I do' in front of their families and friends.
While we in Trans World are aware the anticipated wedding of the Trans Obamas, AKA Precious Davis and Myles Brady is going to happen soon, just last month we had another out trans couple get married in Logan and Laila Ireland.
Logan and Laila got
married in Hawaii on May 17, and I couldn't be happier for both of them. Still looking forward to the day i meet both of them.
As for Myles and Precious, we've already seen her make a little trans history of her own on
Say Yes To The Dress as we and the rest of America got to watch her pick between several gowns.
As for which one she finally did choose, we and Myles won't know until their wedding day..
But I also want to take this TransGriot shoutout post time to salute not only our trans couples, but our couples in which a trans person is marrying or have been happily married for years to a cisgender person.
But no matter what type of couple is walking down the aisle, I wish you well. I envy you because you have found your soulmates. I'm exceedingly happy for you, and hope and pray those relationships stand the test of time as long, healthy and happy ones..
