expressions of love and commitment from diverse couples in
different locations. We also remind readers to safeguard their
health—sexual, psychological, and physical—which still needs
to be maintained even within a committed relationship. Love
isn’t as random as Cupid’s arrow. Getting it and keeping it need
to be worked at. Decades of activism and visibility gave us the
right to formalize our romantic unions—and vigilance will give
us the right keep it.
