"I DO!" ANTHOLOGY "Semi-detached" by Emma Collingwood “The working class has arrived,” Sebastian announced, “looking cranky as usual, but he bought beer. Good man.” Upon noticing Thomas’ black eye and split lip, Sebastian arched an eyebrow. “The proletariat’s been struggling. What happened, mate?” Featuring characters from "The Purser, the Surgeon, the Captain and his Lieutenant" Two people of legal age who are in love with each other have the right to get married if they wish to do so, period. As far as I'm concerned, any person and organisation who fights love in this world full of hate is a danger to the public. That's why I support this fantastic project, which gave those of us who can't protest "on location" against hare-brained propositions like California's No. 8 the chance to support those who take a stand. And you can be supportive, too, and get a book full of great stories in return. That's what I call an excellent deal! The following authors have donated stories to the "I DO!" anthology in support of Lambda Legal Fund, which will receive all profits from the anthology. Printing and distribution costs have been kindly donated by MLR Press. ORDER THE E-BOOK ORDER THE PRINT EDITION |
