That was a very touching story and I feel for your loss, Cynthia. I must say that I don’t think that having “Gay marriage” would have changed your story in any way or made it less painful for you to lose your friend.
I’m sure we all know of many women who have had similar stories to yours minus the sexual relationship factor. Women build close bonds with their friends and the fact that you decided to add a sexual component to your relationship does not make the loss of those who have intimate yet familial relationships any less.
You have used the occasion of your friend’s death to push a political ideology that I believe you do not understand the full impact of.
Will you express the deep sympathy for those good people whose houses of worship have their doors chained shut because they refuse to perform “gay marriages”? Will you feel sympathy for the children of Catholic orphanages who are legally forced to close (as has happened UK) for not offering adoption to gay couples? Can we expect a blog post here lamenting the fate of a family that is torn apart as children are instructed in school that their parents are bigots for excluding gays from the now legal definition of marriage? Will I see you protesting the pastor who gets fined and gagged (as has happened in Canada) for preaching what his religion has understood for over two millennia?
Why do so many gay people feel so insecure about their relationships that they would bring heartache and misery on so many others just so they can get a government-stamped piece of paper in support of their sexual practices.
