No. NO. NOOOOO!

I am not at all saying that gay people should be held to a higher standard.

In fact, I firmly believe that we should be held to the same standard as heterosexuals in regards to marriage and divorce.

Equal.

I don't care about the personal stuff of Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels. At ALL.

I am just giving an example of a gay person fighting for rights, and then when it comes down to it, usurping those rights for an easy out.

This happens a lot in child custody cases between queers too.

I know that if I were to divorce, I would walk into court wanting the same rules as my peers. I know I would have to pay spousal support, and that is fine. I am proud of my marriage license at the same time as being ashamed of it. Being 1 of 18,000 puts us in a special and unequal class amongst our peers on the queer community who cannot get that same license.

We talked about marrying as a man and woman when beloved finished transitioning, but I cannot do it. My marriage is queer. Not that I don't fully support my peer that go that route, because it is what is right for them.

And even then it's scary. Look at Nikki in Wharton, TX. How the public is trying to make her marriage same sex, and change the rules.

I don't know. I just get freaked out when a person in the spotlight does this kind of thing. Not that they aren't human, but rather because they had to choose to go in the other direction for whatever reason.

I don't know if I am making sense. As usual. Please ask for clarification if you need it.
