No random number generated for a page number between 1 and 287. The blurb on the dust jacket of Love Wins: The Lovers and Lawyers Who Fought the Landmark Case for Marriage Equality by Debbie Cenziper and Jim Obergefell, though not a short, quick read, offers enough to entice.

In four parts, with prologue and epilogue, I was also caught by the poetry quoted on the divider for Part One, "Love," from Pablo Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets:

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving but this.

Today is very special for all LGBTs in the United States: the decision of this landmark civil rights case was handed on 25 June 2015. This month in liwaliw Pages, I also pre-selected titles from my personal library for the June observance of LGBT Pride.
