Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and his husband Michael Shiosaki recount how their relationship parallels the many changes in the laws on same-sex couples.

Murray decided to run for an office in the state legislature because a good friend asked him to do it: Washington's first openly gay politican, Cal Anderson. At a StoryCorps booth in Seattle's New Holly neighborhood, Murray and Shiosaki talked about making the decision to enter public life.
