I want to be able to marry my partner, Ryan some day, and regardless of the laws in the state of Texas and our country, we will. It isn't just about a paper stating we are married, we could care less about that. It's about treating us the same as you would a straight couple. The argument of faithfulness and family values can no longer be justified when you have people marrying, divorcing, committing adultery at every corner, and yet still say that this is the way it should be. That's hypocrisy at it's core!
We need the benefits that are afforded to heterosexuals applied to us, we need them so that I don't have to worry about me dying and Ryan having a hard time getting my social security check, or getting the house he so rightly deserves. Sure we can get lawyers and all that crap, but I shouldn't have to worry about all that.Ryan showed me the video above last night, and it was absolutely beautiful. It was made in conjunction with the Get Up! campaign in Australia. Check it out, it is lovely.

I cry every time I watch it because it reminds me so much of us, as I believe it does for every loving couple. I'm so glad that you liked it, my love. It is probably one of the best videos made for marriage equality among others that I've seen because it just doesn't show the good times but it also shows the bad that every relationship goes through. Only the truly strong and loving ones survive. I can't wait to ask for your hand in marriage one day, in front of everyone, and on the best day of my life, when I say "I do", I don't know how I'll be able to stop crying all my happy tears. I love you bunches, my love. Thank you once again for another amazing blog post.
First of all, I COMPLETLY agree. Second of all, Paul is hot!!! :) (the guy in the video)
I support you both so much. I have never met a couple that has more love for each other from the very beginning of your relationship...and it actually gets stronger every day. To hear Ryan speak to you is like hearing a 'brand new' couple in the first stages of dating and having the 'butterflies' in his tummy just because he hears your voice.
If there is anything I can do so that the rights you deserve are granted to you both, please let me know. I love you both so much and wish that the ignorant people would open their eyes and see you both as a couple who does 'almost (he he)' everything the same as those that enforce the old ways. It is almost 2012 and I am raising a child in a biggot filled 'free' country. God help me for my son's future.

Thank u so much Abbie. We love u too and appreciate your kinds words. If only everyone else did think the same way, it would certainly be a much easier world for Peter and I and other GLBT people to live in. In time it will be better because the more that people not only see openly gay people but openly gay couples that have been together for years, love eachother dearly but are not given the same rights as others, the more people will realize that it makes no sense to deny us equality when the only difference is what you mentioned ( he he) :) Love u girl and hopefully we'll get to see u soon. Once again thanks.
