The Marriage of Susan Laurie and Julie Bruno

On Friday, May 2, 2008, Susan Laurie and Julie Bruno were married in General Worth Square, the park in front of the Convention Center where the General Conference were meeting. It was a day to recognize God's continued blessing on Sue and Julie's shared life together in the presence of their family and church. It was also a reminder that God's justice is beginning to blossom for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
