Inspiring Lesbians Do Inspiring Things

The newest installment in the WE DO Campaign features a lesbian couple of 40 years challenging North Carolina’s gay marriage ban by applying for a license. The photos are a bundle of adorable.

“Carole and I are here today to apply for a marriage license,” 79-year-old Mary Burson said. “Because we love each other, we’ve been together for 40 years… we’ve raised eight children together and we want to make the commitment that our brothers and sisters that are heterosexual can make.”

Burson and her partner Carole Kaiser, also 79, were joined by their daughters and a church pastor when they approached the county’s Register of Deeds Nedra Moles for a license. Moles did not break with the state’s antigay law and issue the couple a license.
