Sex change thrust couple into same-sex marriage debate
CONCORD - Judi Howden found happiness in her second marriage, but only after a struggle with issues that have destroyed other families and divided the nation.

With Michael Howden, she had love, another child and a home. It took all three to keep the family together as Michael became Mikayla.

They married nearly four years ago. Mikayla changed her name in 2003 and underwent a sex change in September. The act transformed them into a legally married same-sex couple, despite a ban on such unions in 40 states, including New Hampshire.

“Whether or not society will acknowledge our marriage, I think, is my biggest fear,” Judi Howden said. “That someday, someone may pass legislation that says, ‘Because you are now two females, you are no longer married.’ For anyone to say that they have the right to break up a family, I don’t think is right.”

2. Dang, these ladies are making it difficult
for the repukes to keep up. I wonder if any of the homo-spotters picked up on this yet.
Gotta pass a law quick, before someone else gets the idea they can love anybody they want to in this country!
Kudos to that brave family and many good wishes!
