"Why haven't you two left Mississippi?"
That is a frequent question asked of me, Susan, and my wife Kathy over the years. Truth be told, the thought has crossed our minds. Years ago, we even got maps out and dreamed about where we might want to go.
Ultimately, we chose to stay in Mississippi because we wanted to be a part of the change we knew would come. We wanted our nearly four-decades-long relationship and hard-earned visibility in our community to be a testament to other LGBTQ Mississippians coming after us.
