------------------------------

Fleur Pierets and Julian P. Boom are two women in love. They live together, eat together, sleep together, and work together. When Fleur asks Julian to marry her, Julian says “Yes!” But in most countries, a man cannot marry a man and a woman cannot marry a woman. There are 195 countries in the world, but they can only get married in 28 of them. They think this is unfair! So they decide to get married in all 28 countries that allow same-sex marriage.

Based on a true story, Love is Love continues the journey that began in Love Around the World, and explores the marriage traditions of fourteen countries: Argentina, Austria, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, Germany, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

SUMMARY

Fleur Pierets is a world-renowned LGBTQ+ activist, artist, producer, and writer. In 2015, Fleur, who is Belgian, and her wife, Julian Boom, who was Dutch, came up with the idea for a performance art project in which they would get married in every country that had legalized same-sex marriage. They called it “22—The Project” (at the time of the project’s conception, 22 countries allowed same-sex marriage), and after much planning, Fleur and Julian chose the United States as their first country. They were married in New York on September 20, 2017, by the City Clerk, Michael McSweeney. Next came Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on October 12, then Antwerp, Belgium, on October 20, and finally Paris, France, on November 7. Immediately after the wedding in Paris, Julian was diagnosed with brain cancer and died approximately seven weeks later, on January 22, 2018.

In the first volume of Love Around the World, Fleur and Julian fulfill the dream of their beautiful project. They travel to Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United States, learning the fascinating traditions and customs and peculiarities surrounding marriage in each country. A resource page at the back of the book provides information on same-sex laws and LGBTQ+ organizations in each of the countries.
