While Preston said he feels his views have been well-represented in the pro-marriage testimony and lawyers' arguments offered during the Proposition 8 trial, he knows that, no matter how the judge rules in Perry v. Schwarzenegger, the fight will continue, most likely up to the United States Supreme Court. He's ready to continue the fight, volunteering for the San Francisco LGBT Community Center and the Horizons Foundation.

"I am firmly convinced now that marriage is a civil right. My right to marry whom I choose is a right," he said. "And it is one of those fundamental natural rights that the state can't take away."

"I spent 50-some years not having the right to get married to a man," Preston continued. "I just didn't have it. And yet in 2008, I did. And then it was taken away. And that becomes a much bigger deal. To not have a right I never had? Don't miss it. To not have a right that I once had? That's a big deal, and it's wrong."

The couple says, unequivocally, that they are glad they got married, and they will continue fighting until every other member of the LGBT community has the right to get married, too. "Our lower-case "m" marriage grew stronger when we upper-case "M" got Married," Preston said.
