Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.

My marriage to my husband, Bart Conner in 1996 is my proudest personal moment.

When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit.

I didn't know that President Bush would endorse a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

It won't take 40 years for opposition to same-sex marriage to dissipate.
