I Want to Watch Two Women Kiss. . .

. . .right after I've pronounced them Wife and Wife.  Or two men, that'd be awesome too.

With DOMA taking center stage in our nation, civil unions and weddings for people of all sexual orientations are very much on my mind.  I’m always thinking about weddings, as I’m sure you can imagine – everything about them fascinates me – and this is an issue near and dear to my heart.  Not because I’m a gay woman – I’m not – but because I am a passionate believer in equality.

I'm pleased to live in a state where civil union is legal. Personally, I'm a woman happily married to a man; that in not changed by the fact that I have always believed that marriage should be legal for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation.  Since I was old enough to know what gay means, I’ve seldom cared if a person is or is not – what I care about is how that person behaves.  Behavior has become my metric by which I understand and relate to others.  Being a counselor, it makes the most sense to me.  I am, therefore, baffled by people who espouse any religion or philosophy that claims to be based on love and forgiveness, but then denies basic human rights to others.
