""If it turns out that this is incurable, would you marry me?" is not your traditional marriage proposal, but then again, Andy and I haven't lived traditional lives.

"My Big Bean"

Andy and I first met after literally running into each other at a White House reception honoring the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community in June of 2012. I was fortunate enough to have been invited after coming out publicly as a transgender woman while serving as student body president at American University just a month before. Andrew, 26 at the time, had come out as a transgender man several years prior and was now a leading LGBT health policy advocate in Washington, DC."

OMG!  This was the most beautiful story I've ever read, but WARNING!   Don't read it in a public place because you will be bawling.  Thank you for posting it.

Beautiful, poignant, and yes, read it in private, sitting at my desk with tears.
