Living here, in Massachusetts, gives them this legal union. It is a travesty that there are but two states in which they can be married. They love each other as deeply as any two people can love. That should be enough.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you get a piece of that legislation.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200177056135281932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849327642610184563.post-63488249494798649842008-07-02T16:11:00.000-04:002008-07-02T16:11:00.000-04:00You did do it!

No one I know ever put it better, or more poignantly, than a woman I worked with at 911 who wished to have the same benefits with the woman she loved as I do with the woman I love. "Britney Spears can get married for a weekend, and she can have all the benefits with her partner that she just met, and yet my partner and I can't, just because we're the same gender?" <BR/>Makes no sense to me. Love is great, no matter what kind of pants it wears. God bless you both.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041502316651258186noreply@blogger.com
