In this April 3, 2014, photo, Derek Kitchen, left, and Moudi Sbeity sit on their couch at their home, in Salt Lake City. The young couple that has become the face of gay marriage in Utah is an unlikely pair for the role. Kitchen and Sbeity were both raised in conservative religious families that shun gays, Kitchen in a Mormon home in Utah and Sbeity in a Muslim family in Lebanon. They each came out when they were 16 years old, worlds apart, and met six years later in college in Utah. They chose to become one of three couples as plaintiffs in the lawsuit challenging Utah’s same-sex marriage to publicly push back against religions that oppress gays and lesbians.

In this Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 photo, Mark Lewis listens to his son Cody, a recovering heroin addict, talk abut his life and addiction at the Good Samaritan Methodist Church in Addison, Ill. The younger Lewis traces his problems to a troubled childhood: Constant fights between his parents (they later divorced). The death of a beloved grandmother. And harassment from school bullies. He was a C-student at best; his class work started faltering in third grade. A doctor diagnosed attention deficit disorder and prescribed Adderall. A year later, he was put on antidepressants.
