God's love is unconditional

"When her small-town religious friends found out she was a lesbian, they scorned and abandoned her. Her family disowned her. She thought she was alone with nowhere to turn...all simply because she was trying to come out of the darkness and be who she really was.

And when it seemed that there was no more hope, only more darkness, she took her life out of desperation.

We hope that she is somehow able to feel all of the incredible love these wedding couples have for each other. She, above all, would understand that they're just celebrating the infinite diversity of God's creation and His unconditional love.

Because of Doris, and the trials she endured, there's now more hope in this world. It's a hope that was born and then blossomed because of her pain; her gift to all of us."
