I have wonderful news to share with Erin In The Morning readers. On May 5th, Rep. Zooey Zephyr surprised me by proposing in front of a crowd of queer people at queer prom. I, of course, said yes!
I watched the proposal last night & after getting tearful over Zooey’s speech, I gasped & hooted in joy alone in my house when she dropped to one knee! My joy as mom to a beloved trans son, is bolstered by this privilege of watching your lives unfold in this beautiful way. May your life together be filled with this powerful and nourishing good as you fiercely face what lies ahead. 🫶🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈💙
congratulations!!! my partner (T4T as well~) and i spent some time on friday getting our relationship codified as a domestic partnership, with my supervisor notarizing the documents. now he'll have access to my health insurance! and we're in one of the safest states, thank goodness. i am so grateful for your journalism and for your future wife's advocacy in montana. so much love to you both. i am wishing earnestly for each of you to stay safe, at peace, and full of joy.
Erin Reed and Zooey Zephyr, congratulations on your engagement! I wish you all the best in your future, filled with love, happiness, and growth. Witnessing two people find love and joy is heartwarming, and I hope your story inspires others to embrace themselves and others.
As for my wife and me, we'll be celebrating 37 years this summer, and my being trans has never affected our love for each other. Our love grew stronger because of our mutual openness and communication. We're sending our love and support, wishing you a queer version of "Love and Happiness ever after." We can attest that it exists.
Sustaining a balance between work and love is essential, and we appreciate your service to the trans community. But we also look forward to seeing more posts about how you care for each other and find joy together.
I’m so happy for both of you, Erin. Congratulations.
I'm so happy too! Thank you!

You can tell Zooey that both you and she have helped me to accept myself for who I am, and to be out and proud.
Congratulations!! That's so exciting.
