Thank you for writing this post and continuing to raise the importance of marriage equality. I'm very concerned that we will lose our marriage rights. Straight people have told me that they don't think that will happen but it's so easy for them to say that. They never had to fight for the right to use the words "husband" or "wife" the same way we have. People need to see the faces of those this issue affects. We are real people who potentially could lose so many rights and benefits. And to have your marriage dissolved in an instant due to political and religious motivations? It's horrifying. We are real people with love that is real and marital commitments that are real. So again, thank you for raising this issue.

Ah, Michael, all I can say is I love your heart. I remember when gay marriage was being discussed, and I honestly never thought it would happen. I was thrilled when it became law, but even then I had my doubts. I waited for the 'loopholes', which, given the climate for gay anything, seemed to be inevitable. And there were some attempts, to be sure, but your marriage to the man you love is sacrosanct. It's binding, no matter who says otherwise.

It's a clear minority now who would object to two people in love wanting to commit to each other. We can't let them have any more power.
