I'm thinking a lot about this now because I'm in a kind of relationship that makes me think I might want to get married. We already live together. To a het couple, the next logical step would be marriage. To us gays, nothing. Oh you can exchange rings, get 'married' but it's not recognized by whatever state you live in. So if I spend a good 40 years with my partner and we share everything, if anything happens to either one of us, the other gets nothing. Maybe a pat on the hand and a lovely condolence card. *scoffs*

Again with the not understanding why it's not legal, and why there were those proposal-thingies to make them illegal. *shrugs*
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm part of a minority, maybe it's because I don't really have a sexual preference, but for goodness' sake, people are people, regardless of race, religion and preference.
Heaven forbid that everyone has the same rights./sarcasm
