thank you. i agree with you completely, having lived in a home where my father lives happily with his boyfriend since I was 14, and have a sister who came to us only knowing two mothers (god bless invitrofertilization, she is an amazing woman). it's not fair to deny two men or two women who love each other same same rights and privileges we are entailed to as heterosexuals. why can't that extend to marriage? i see marriages break up every day. i have only seen one truly committed homosexual union ever break up.
