I know that I have made kinda a big deal about it over the last 4 months, since we have been married, but you know what? It IS a big deal!!! Just try and love someone with all your heart and work on your relationship to be the best you can be for each other and have the government tell you, Nope! Your love for each other mars the idea "we" hold of marriage, so we deny you the right to be married like we the superior straight people and always for the sake of the children. Riiiight? BULL SHIT!!!! Is my love and level of commitment to Keri less than Joe's love is for Jane? I don't think so. I love keri with every fiber of my being and there is nothing I want more than to happily live out the rest of my days as her wife.
So, please do not read more into this than what it is, although I realize I have no control over how anyone perceives this, but I am not putting all straight people in one category. K? That would be pretty stereotypical and judgey of me. All I am doing is speaking passionatley about my feelings and I am SUPER grateful I live in an area of the counrty that is so open minded.
Even still, we had to go out of state to get married in a state that was kind enough to acknowledge that we deserved the same rights as any other couple that wanted to be married. We were married before it was even legally acknowledged in our own home state and that feels pretty fuckin' awesome. It feels like making history.
Thank you so much to all of the people out there that are straight allies in support of equality. Words can not even express the feelings of gratitude I feel for the love and acceptance I have experienced and have continued to feel as we make our way through the world today as wife and wife.
Happy Valentine's day to all shapes and sizes of love that are around the world. Love is love, right? That's what I believe anyway.
