This LGBT History Month, marriage equality champions Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, the plaintiffs in the Supreme Court Case that struck down Prop. 8 in California, sat down with newlyweds Niki and Carole Nakayama, owners of n/naka and known for Chef’s Table, to discuss their relationship and how Paul and Jeff’s story paved the way for marriage equality nationwide.
The wide-ranging conversation includes the quartet's thoughts on coming out, what it feels like to get married, and sharing wedding news with friends, family, and co-workers.
"Getting married, it's personal but as a gay couple it's also universal because it gives us the language to go out into the world and affirm who we are in such a real way," says Katami. "Cause you have to come out every day if you're gay."
"For me, I feel that it defined a certain level of authenticity that we were trying to do through food but now here it was in a whole other realm," shared Ilda-Nakayama.
