Trouble In Paradise
Although both Chris and Jacki were the happiest they had ever been in their lives, there was one problem. Chris and Jacki could not get married. At the time, California had yet to allow same-sex marriage. Many gay couples in America, including Chris and Jacki, found this discrimination unfair and dehumanizing, but the law was slow to react. Deeply in love, this couple wanted to get married to express the bond they shared, so that was when Jacki came up with a solution.

Jacki Makes A Life-Changing Decision
After much consideration, Jacki chooses to have gender reassignment surgery in the form of a double mastectomy. A double mastectomy is an operation where both breasts are removed. She then officially changed her gender to male, allowing the two of them to legally get married in the state of California. Not only did Chris support this decision, but she was thrilled by it. Chris described Jacki’s decision to transition as “the biggest act of love” anyone has ever shown her.
