6. Good news.

I wonder how many decades must pass before the heinous "Defense of Marriage" amendments will be struck down in too many states. The answer: too long.

"If my happiness somehow demeans or diminishes your marriage, you need to work on your marriage."

From Senator Karen Peterson~
I just love this part~

PETERSON: No one chose to be gay. We are what God made us. We don’t need to be fixed. We aren’t broken. [...]

My partner Vicki and I have been together for 24 years. Last year, we entered into a civil union. [...]

If my happiness somehow demeans or diminishes your marriage, you need to work on your marriage.

Thank you for the update, Tx.
