hi MsTinker:
Thanks for this thread...great idea!
If I was told tomorrow I could get married, would I want to? Why or why not?
Having that same privilege/right as all others in society would be awesome in and of itself...for a number of reasons. All I have ever wanted was for everyone to be treated equally!
I would love to be married with equal rights/privileges....and to be recognized as such! Being able to live life without discretion, phobias, anger, and hate would be ideal!
However, on the opposite side of the coin, "marriage" doesn't "guarantee" us anything. By that I mean, when I am coupled, I want our hearts to bind one another with the strings of love, committment, fidelity, honesty, and such..NOT a "piece of paper". The freedom to be individuals yet remaining committed, one to the other.....by love..by choice...am I making sense...lol..
Looking forward to all the posts. Have an awesome day! Clay
PS I would love to be able to enjoy all the perks and privileges that come with marriage (as stated by Tawse) in so far as marriage in that respect.
I also agree with Novela's post as well. My deceased partner & I had 15 wonderful years, and would have been married had our state recognized the union! But we were so much more committed in our hearts and bound for life...except death took her away from me. Ahh but I digress.
