WEST BLOOMFIELD - Author Joel Derfner will discuss his recently published book, Lawfully Wedded Husband, How My Gay Marriage Will Save the American Family during the 62nd Annual Jewish Book Fair at the Jewish Community Center.
When Derfner's boyfriend proposed to him, there was nowhere in America the two could legally marry. That changed quickly, and before long the two were on what they expected to be a rollicking journey to married bliss. What they didn't realize was that they would confront the dilemmas every couple faces on their way to the altar. What kind of ceremony would they have? What would they wear? Did they have to invite Great Aunt Sophie? They had questions about a healthy relationship, the definition of marriage and ultimately, what makes a family.
The book signing and talk will be Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. JGN and the ACLU will host an afterglow reception. Cost is an $18 donation to the Jewish Gay Network.
