While gardening one summer day in 2020, Walia’s mother was racked with a “pervasive, scary-sounding cough,” said Walia. It began to happen...

  California’s Proposition 8, a 2008 ballot measure that sought to amend the California Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman, overturned the state’s Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
