First Same Sex Couple Married At Houghton County Courthouse

Antonio Cuevas and Dustin Thomas have been waiting for seven years to tie the knot. At a small ceremony outside the Houghton County Courthouse, their wait ended.

Theirs is the first same sex marriage to be performed by the magistrate at the courthouse in Houghton County following the recent landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Dustin talks about how it feels for the wait to finally be over.

Caleb is Dustin’s seven year old biological son.

Both men are from California but now live on a small farm in Hancock. They followed the legal battle for the right to get married but never considered themselves activists.

Now that they’ve taken the plunge, Antonio says what’s next.
