“I left my violent husband 14 years ago, taking my three young children with me, because it was a matter of life or death. My husband was judged irresponsible for his acts at the time. It was horrifying to realise that no charges would be upheld against him and he would not be convicted. But even worse were the words of his psychologist who thought that I should be punished for what I’d made him go through. He swore that he would kill me as soon as my youngest son turned 18. I think about it more and more since that date is getting closer but it doesn't stop me from living. I will never trust a man again but life always goes on. Today, I am a member of a victim support association – if my testimony gives just one woman the strength to leave and to fight, it will slightly sooth a wound that will never heal.”
“J’ai quitté mon mari violent il y a 14 ans. Je suis partie à l’époque - avec mes trois jeunes enfants - pour ne pas mourir. Mon mari a été jé irresponsable à l’époque des faits. Cela a été terrible pour moi d’apprendre qu’aucune charge ne serait retenue contre lui et qu’il ne serait pas condamné, mais plus terribles encore furent les mots de son psy estimant c’est moi qui devrait être punie pour ce que je lui faisait endurer. Il a juré de me tuer lorsque mon plus jeune fils sera majeur. J’y pense de plus en plus souvent depuis que cette échéance approche mais cela ne m’empêche pas de vivre. Je ne ferai plus jamais confiance à un homme, mais la vie reprend toujours le dessus. Je suis aujourd’hui membre d’une association d’aide aux femmes victimes de violences. Si, par mon témoignage, une seule femme trouve le courage de partir et de se battre, ce sera pour moi un peu de baume sur une blessure qui ne guérira jamais.”
Council of Europe, Stop domestic violence against women
It starts with screams and must never end in silence.
Tout commence par des cris et ne doit jamais finir dans un grand silence.

To commemorate the passage of marriage equality in New York, I shot this series. It was at the end of a long week that the good news came: Kayla & I had been vacated from our loft with seven hours notice, along with the residents of 45 other apartments in our building. We packed up our apartment in about three days, while looking for a new place and couch surfing. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but in the middle of it, when I was sitting on the pavement with the most important of our worldly possessions, our cats, and Kayla, I realized even on the worst days, I am so lucky to have such an incredible partner. And now, thanks to the brave legislators of New York State, my incredible partner can one day become my wife.

Celebrating the first same-sex couples to receive marriage licenses in Washington State! Taken at the bottom of the stairs outside Seattle City Hall on the morning of 12-09-2012. Congratulations to all!
Terre Dunivant designed this image for a referendum in San Luis Opisbo in California. When I contacted her to license this image for use in Maryland, she not only gave me the rights to use it, she sent me a link to download the font so I could change the local. I suppose I should have used "Maryland."
But of all of the images I have seen for Marriage Equality, this one seems compelling. No words; no explanation. Just two hearts joined. What other baggage does marriage need?
And, as shown in with Heather and Deborah Mizeur in front of the image, I think it is really moving when the people are added.
