In the town of Neenah, along the banks of Lake Winnebago in rural Wisconsin, Pride was alive and thriving last year when Jesse Moore and his wife, Joline, attended their first Trans Day of Visibility celebration together.
It wasn't long before a proposal, in the form of an Easter egg hunt for Joline.
"We had talked about it together and knew we wanted to get married, but I used one of those crayons to write 'Will you marry me?' while dying eggs with my family."
The colorful question earned an immediate "yes" from Joline.
Several years later, Jesse announced his transition.
"I had always been more masculine presenting, but she had no clue," Jesse says. "I was so scared and nervous. My fears were that she loved women, and also the reaction from her side of the family."
"I was surprised," Joline says. "He had always dressed more 'butch,' but I had no idea. However, I have always said that I am attracted to someone for who they are, not because of what sex they are."
"She loves me for me," Jesse adds.
And like him, Joline can now see the man that Jesse "was always meant to be."
