As I learn to be an advocate, I am taught by my mentors that I should use the term "marriage equality" in my pursuit for just that--marriage equality. I thank Tim and Louie for correcting me on the proper terminology.
And they are right. Marriage equality is exactly what we are seeking. It is not a separate or different kind of marriage. It is marriage between two people who love and care for one another "til death do us part." Amen. It makes it even more profound and more important for it to become a reality.
Marriage equality takes away all the silly and stupid stereotypes that clog the minds of people and make them categorize marriage. It's so simple--so why is equality so hard!
I am not gay. I don't know what if feels like to be gay. But I sure as hell know what it feels like to be the mother of two gay children. And I want them to have "equality" in every way.
Thank you Tim and Louie for teaching me that marriage equality is the proper terminology for what we seek. It elevates relationships to the proper level.
