This blog is a reply to Keith Bardwell's decision to deny a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for the future children they might have. On Dec. 16, 2009, we sent him a colorful Christmas card to show him that mixed-race people, families and couples are happy, well-adjusted people. We are keeping it going!

122: Submitted by Devan R. (Louisiana)
My husband and I live in Louisiana, and he is Creole, which means his family ranges in color from very light and looking white to very dark. His dad's family originated from the island of Guadalupe in the Caribbean Sea, and those who didn't stay behind moved to New Orleans.
Devan shares pictures of her son and husband. She also included one of she and her best friend on her wedding day. "I included it because I think of her like a sister since we lived together during her first pregnancy," she says. "I helped to raise her first child until we both had to evacuate from our home due to hurricane Katrina."
Thanks, Devan!
