Gay Marriage until...a break up. Why Gays need to walk the walk.

I personally believe that unless my partner quits trying, after we get married, then we work through whatever, and I mean whatever, comes.

but I don't hold anyone else to my definition of commitment, straight or gay. They get to do that all by their grown up selves.

I'd hate to be frozen into saintly puritan behaviour out of fear of what the wank brigade is going to say about gay people.

I understand the frustration of having to fight for it for so long and then someone treats it with less reverance than someone else. But hey, if britney can do it, so can some dyke.

Jesus, how many times have people asked me to marry them until it became legal?? then suddenly.... *crickets* lmao - nah, I didn't think they actually meant it under all those hormones either at the time.

but people will catch up to the straights in terms of having disposable legal marriages.

These are all great points. With the exception that although Brittany did have a hours long marriage...she wasn't advocating for marriage as a civil right.

I think that is the thing that bugs me after hours and hours of work here in CA. It kind of takes the air out of my balloons in a way.

I'm not in fear of what the wing nuts will say: it's obvious that that is never going to change, but I do feel an undercurrent of hatred that is different that before.
