Description:

Martha McDevitt-Pugh married her Dutch partner soon after The Netherlands legalized same-sex marriage in 2001. They settled in Amsterdam because the United States does not recognize their union. And Martha started a support group called Love Exiles.
In October 2004, Martha traveled 5000 miles from Amsterdam to San Francisco to join the Marriage Equality Express – a caravan of some forty activists, supporters and friends. They crossed the heartland of America on their way to a rally in Washington D.C. – stopping along the way to talk about same-sex marriage and immigration equality issues.
“Love Exile on the Road” is an audio diary of Martha’s fascinating eight-day journey.
