I want to write something meaningful about the misunderstanding (at best) and bigoted hate (at worst) surrounding the issue of marriage equality in the U.S., but each time I try my thoughts become mired in frustration and anger and the words end up an incoherent mess.
I will say this, though it seems ridiculous to me that such a thing even needs to be stated: My husband and I have been in a “traditional” marriage (i.e., one man and one woman) for nearly ten years now, and we can state unequivocally that the fact that same-sex marriage is legal in Canada has never “threatened” our relationship in any way, shape or form.
Love is not a threat.

Oh, how I wish the U.S. would catch up with Canada on this issue. Sometimes I'm left speechless, too.
I'm wishing right along with you, Becky! *sigh*
*Sigh* I wish Australia did the same thing. Here it's legal to be gay (except in Tasmania; please don't ask me why!), but it's not legal to be married and they won't let you adopt or let you have a child through artificial insemination.
And you know why? It's all bloody politics.
Mozette – That really, really sucks. So very sad. 🙁
Keep fighting Dawn. I'm with you all the way.

Peter – I'm very glad about that. 🙂
