We were really happy when my Mom surprised me and came to our wedding in Vermont, September 10, 2011. She was skeptical about coming because she had such a hard time dealing with the fact I was marrying a woman. But in the end she said she knew I was happy, and that's all that mattered. -Nicole Gibson 

What is a family?  The Valentine's current exhibit "One Love: LGBT Families" asks this question.  In partnership with OutRVA and Michael Simon Photography, the exhibit runs through September 4, 2017.
