Freedom to Marry Week

This week is "Freedom to Marry" week. One week dedicated to education about why everyone should be allowed to Marry in this country, not just the Heterosexuals.

I could type a lot of reasons why we should all have the Freedom to Marry, but the take home point is simply that as Americans we should not have certain laws and privileges withheld from us simply because we are gay or lesbian. This is not a change in the definition of marriage, but the removal of a discrimatory barrier.

If you read back in my blog far enough, you will see where Greg and I traveled to Toronto this past year in order to get Married before Tekla was born. We wanted to set an example for her showing that we are in a committed, loving relationship and fully accept the responsibilities for that.

Spread the love, not the hate.

Some of us are still working hard to make sure that you can get married here in the states, too. Maybe Tekla can be your flower girl. :)
