I wanted just to say that my husband makes really good pumpkin chicken stew.  He does.  

But saying that on a day like today makes me feel sad and awkward because there are queer people all across the country who 1) could say something similar about their own partners but their unions aren't legal and/or 2) are too scared to say something like that in public. And that just sucks.

I'm happy to be married to Steve. We might appear to be heterosexual but we're not, we're bisexual. I could have met a woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and things would have been different. But that was not how my life turned out.

I don't have any words that will change the world. I just wish anyone could marry whoever they want and be treated equally by everyone. What the hell is so difficult about that idea?

This morning my emotions were as confIlcted as they were a year ago when I woke up the morning after election day. Yay Washington! Boo Maine! How do we convince people to treat others as equal even if they don't understand each other?

I share similar feelings. I have been appreciating so much lately how lucky I am with Brad, and yet I also feel kind of bad for having that in a world where there are people who can't claim legally what we do. But also realizing that the person I could have been with could have been a woman, because I have loved women as deeply. *He* was the one who loved me back enough to share a life together, and somehow, each day I realize more and more how compatible we are.

I just don't understand why *anyone* (Outside of those with a dramatic personal history with the individuals involved, hee!) would care who anyone else marries! It's hateful and wrong!

I had the great honor witnessing my teachers as they were married two years ago on this day realizing that once they returned home to he east coast, they could be jailed. Never have I seen two people in love. They blend together, able to stay themselves and flawlessly move into their whole. Differences yes, they have some interesting "cat" fights. I stand behind and for those whose life partners are considered taboo because their "parts" are the same.
