:(

This past Sunday marks the 15-YEAR anniversary of my cousin Paul and his partner Ed. They are both successful business men. They live in San Francisco. They own a home together. They just adopted their first child, Andrew (SO ADORABLE!). They should be married and were planning on it, but California decided to "PROTECT" marriage. What a bunch of BS.

A no on prop 8 would have done nothing to put any one's version/ belief of marriage in jeopardy. You can teach your kids whatever you want. Your church can decided if they will hold gay-marriage ceremonies or not. It doesn't force anyone to change much of anything.

I hate the fact that I could pull any man into a Vegas chapel and get married, doesn't matter how long I've known him. Doesn't matter if we are criminals. Doesn't matter if we are high as a kite. Doesn't matter if he abuses me, or if he abuses kids. I can marry him.

Today Paul and Ed can't get married.

HOW IS THIS OKAY??????????????????????
