I am African-American, Native-American, European White, in addition to being a Disabled Veteran Civillywedd.com was created in loving memory of John Andrew Baker from Halifax, Massachusetts, 1936 -1992, My friend, Life-Mate, Harvard-Grad and Teacher extrordinaire who inspired me to carry on... We were joined together in a ceremony in John's home in Silverlake, Los Angeles, California on December 31, 1982 I recall John saying, " It's a shame that this wedding is not legal", I said, "I guess I'll have to do something about that someday". My plan is to generate new development ideas for the LGBT Community that focuses on open-family projects, by providing easy to understand wedding planning and newlywed essentials. I took it upon myself to contact the C.E.O.'s of the then "Top Ten Fortune 500 Companies" in year 2000 requesting their participation in Civillywedd.com, as well as, promoting the website. I am doing my part as promised my former partner, John would be pleased to know that Gay Marriage is now legal in Massachusetts, his birth State, as well as California (On Hold), where we resided, in addition to, Connecticut, Vermont and Maine(Voted down) , in addition to Iowa, recognition in Washington, D.C., and now in New York, my birth State. LGBT Marriage is on the horizon, the future is looking brighter for Lgbt's worldwide. Join in the progress and make Equal Marriage Rights the perfect synergy of humankind for the greater good.

About Me |
| On an interesting side note, Nathan Sayre was one of few people of his time who challenged the racial color code. Although he never married, he had several children with one of his slave women and later lived with Susan Hunt, who was herself a mixture of Cherokee, African, and white. They raised their three children here at Pomegranate Hall. In his library, Sayre kept books that argued AGAINST the common belief that racial "amalgamation" would inevitably produce degenerate and physically inferior children. It is believed that the complicated layout of the house was to support the equally complicated family dynamics. Judge Sayre and Pomegranate Hall were the subject of numerous books including "Ambiguous Lives: Free Women of Color in Rural Georgia" by Adele Logan Alexander . You see, Judge Sayre defied tradition at the time, and raised 3 children with his common law wife, Susan Hunt,who was bi-racial, in a time when slavery was in full force. At the time, he could not legally marry Ms. Hunt and consequently they had to live their lives behind closed doors. |
