It was fate that at 18 he was saddled with the day-to-day operation of the family motel in Green River while his parents waited in exile in India.

He regretted the drug-fuelled madness that led him to shoot his girlfriend to death days after she gave birth to their son. He would be a better man. He would stay away from drugs, from violence, from prison. Or at least that's what he told the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole during a 2004 hearing.

Utah same-sex marriage supporters decry use of child photos • An organization that supports same-sex marriage said it was "a disgrace" for opponents to project photos of same-sex couples with children.
