My partner and I are extremely lucky in that we live in towns on opposite sides of the U.S/Canada border. While we're restricted in how many nights we can spend "across the river", we can see each other every day. We were sorely disappointed a couple of years ago when the Maine electorate voted to repeal the then recently-passed marriage equality bill. But in the end, DOMA would have - and still does preclude any possibility of us being together in the States. Luckily Canada recognized marriage equality an number of years ago, and we are planning to get married later this year. I don't even want to think about the heartbreak we'd be living if we didn't have that option. My heart goes out to those who are living through it. It's incredible that my partner, a U.S. citizen, literally has to choose between love and country. Absolutely incredible.
