My Dear Keri,

I've read your story before, but it still makes me reel to see it again. It enrages me that those people who moralize against our relationships being formally recognized are either blind to or apathetic about the pain they cause for us - and perhaps more importantly - the children!

Being Canadian I have the option of marrying my partner. The marriage would be formally recognized all across my country, as the decision to legalize gay marriage here was made on the basis of a national constitutional challenge. (here we call it the Charter of Rights and Freedoms) HOWEVER, as some of you know, my beloved is American and currently we live on opposite sides of the border, even though we spend much of our time together. Should we decide to spend time in the States our marriage would mean NOTHING! WTF!

Things have got to change!

Sue
