Vermont Rep. Taylor Small, the state’s first transgender lawmaker, got engaged to her partner, Carsen Russell, while the White House was lit with rainbow lights on Tuesday.
Vermont Rep. Taylor Small got engaged to her partner, Carsen Russell , after the Respect for Marriage Act signing at the White House on Tuesday.As the event was wrapping up, Russell said he asked Small if she wanted to take a photo. Then he got down on one knee. “I was just like, ‘I want to spend my life with you, and will you marry me?’” Russell told NBC News on Friday in a joint interview with Small.
After a performance in Montpelier, Small said, Russell came up to take a photo with her. Then, the next day, “in true millennial fashion, he slid into the DMs,” or direct messages, on social media. After chatting, she invited him to a New Queer’s Eve event to celebrate the New Year.Russell moved away for work after that, but they stayed in touch until a year later, when he came to the New Queer’s Eve event again, and they “rekindled the flame,” Small said.
Their communication and growth is “really something that I could not have imagined for myself in a partner,” he said.
