Harvey Zuckman and Phil Oxman met in Minneapolis in 1975. In 2013, once marriage equality passed in Minnesota, they were one of the first same-sex couples to legally marry in the state. They are thought to be the first Jewish gay couple legally married in Minnesota. Throughout the decades their advocacy work included making Jewish spaces more welcoming for gay Jews.
