Richard Adams    "Theirs was a pretty remarkable story," Soloway
said in an email. "They were far ahead of their time when they
took up the fight to have their legal Colorado marriage
recognized by the federal government."  The two men met at a Los
Angeles gay bar called "The Closet" in 1971.  In 1975, they
heard about a rogue county clerk in Boulder, Colorado, named
Clela Rorex, a pioneer in her own right, who decided she would
give marriage licenses to gay couples after learning from the
district attorney's office that nothing in Colorado law
expressly forbade it.     They received a one-sentence denial
from the INS that was stunning in its bluntness.   He took the
INS to court in 1979, and over several years in court was met
only with rejections.     They're the subject of an upcoming
documentary, "Limited Partnership." And just two days before
Adams' death they were working with Soloway on a challenge to
the federal Defense of Marriage Act, one of two laws the U.S.
Supreme Court has agreed to review in it
