When Jim met John, little did they know how their relationship would change America's law on same sex marriage. Jim Obergefell tells Saskia Edwards how their love made history.

When Jim met John, it was instant love. Despite John battling terminal illness and the fact that same sex marriage wasn't legal in their state, the couple was determined to get married. What they didn't realise is that their union would change the course of US legal history.
