American entrepreneur and businessperson, the former executive of publicly traded TORO, academic administrator, author, and ordained minister who has started eight companies, several non profits and served for four years as the Executive Director of the Metropolitan Community Church. During her tenure as MCCs chief operating officer and business manager, Love played a role in the advocacy for human rights around the world. She has also served on the Faith and Religion Council for the Human Rights Campaign. She was awarded the Bohnett Fellowship and attended an executive education program for local and state officials at Harvards Kennedy School. She and her partner also acquired a new business in 2009, the Natural Food Center, in Abilene, Texas. Love is the author of Would Jesus Discriminate? The 21st Century Question. This book is part of a broader campaign to prompt churches to consider the ways that religious attitudes against homosexuality may contribute to wider discrimination against gays and lesbians. Although the campaign began in 2006, it continues to influence the discussion. She married Jerry Love in 1974 in Abilene and they had two children before divorcing in 1980. In 2005 she married Sue Jennings in Canada after the country introduced legislation permitting same-sex marriages. They later announced plans to marry under Californian law at a ceremony to be conducted in Los Angeles on 24 June 2008. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
