In this July 30, 2014, photo, Sophy Jesty, left, and Val Tanco, right, pose with their dog, Biscuit, at their home in Knoxville, Tenn. When Tanco and Jesty began dating during post-graduate veterinary training at Cornell University, their relationship faced more than the usual run of hurdles. Tanco is Argentinian, and once her residency ended, she wound up on the west coast of Canada, while Jesty remained on the east coast of the U.S. The two wed legally in New York a year later in a brief courthouse ceremony. In the meantime, both had been offered jobs at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, in Knoxville. They accepted, but only after they got to Tennessee did the ramifications of living in a state that didn’t recognize their marriage become apparent. (AP Photo/Wade Payne)
