Hodges made same-sex marriage the law of the land. This is a personal story--about Rob's ambivalence (if not antipathy) toward the institution of marriage, his loving relationship with John, and the life that they share together--set against the historical and political backdrop of shifting attitudes toward LGBTQ+ rights and marriage. With humor, candor, and a near-whimsical drawing style, Rob relates how he and John navigated this changing landscape, how they planned and celebrated their wedding, and how the LGBTQ+ community is now facing the very real possibility of setbacks to marriage equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeartwarming, honest, and slyly humorous, Marry Me a Little is a wonderfully illustrated celebration of a romantic partnership between two men and a personal account of a momentous and historic moment in the fight for gay rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Kirby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1637790392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781637790397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graphic Mundi - Psu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2023 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2023","brand":"Robert Kirby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078186791167,"sku":"9781637790397","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b867e910-a568-4a7b-a200-5319f9afcb11.jpg?v=1685474039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marry-me-a-little-robert-kirby-9781637790397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
