Marriage Letter - From a woman who loves another woman
(Ok, this is serious guys and I felt the need to write something with all of the court cases going on right now. I need to write this down, so to speak.)
My marriage doesn’t cheapen yours. My marriage doesn’t affect yours. In fact, I’ll be frank, my marriage has nothing to do with you.
My marriage has to do with her. The woman I love, who I’ve loved for over 10 years. We’ve been through a lot of crap and we have come out happier and closer than I ever thought possible. Marriage would be about giving her something that society has taught all women to dream of from the moment we could walk and try on frilly fancy dresses. But it’s more than that.
Beyond the desire to walk down an isle in a beautiful white dress, it’s the commitment. I want to give her a ring, I want to sign the certificate and I want the physical moment of marrying her in front of family and friends. I want to stand up in front of a room and state in terms that everyone is familiar with that I love this woman and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to give that moment to her, her family, her parents, my parents and everyone else around us who’s supported us along the way.
Things like taxes, and ownership and legality and such are secondary. It’s the commitment that is important and I’m pretty sure that - still - none of this has anything to do with the people who say we can’t get married. Marriage is about the commitment between me and her and nothing else.
So, based on that, why can’t I just marry her now without legal crap? I mean, technically, we’re planning on having a hand fasting anyway - a Pagan marriage - so why do I even need to have the government’s blessings? That’s what you’re thinking right?
Marriage is important, because at its base, it’s the promise to the world that you will care, love and take care of this person in front of you. I know society has changed and even I’m asking for marriage to change, but at the core, the meaning is still the same. I want to marry her and swear that I will take care of her. And in that same vein I don’t want to cheapen my promise in a fake ceremony or something that’s incomplete, because to me it feels like I’m lying. If the marriage is fake and not recognized, then that just hands haters a way to say ‘you don’t love her, because you can’t give her what she’s supposed to have: a man.’
I could write all day and make all sorts of anthropological arguments, pro equality arguments and everything else, but I’m not going to. It’s about that, and at the same time it isn’t.
The right to marriage is important to me, because I want to give it to her. It’s important to us. Because marriage is about the couple, it’s their day. It would be our day. Not yours. It doesn’t affect your day.
It is our day. We should be able to have that day too.
Uh…
I’m just gonna reblog this and go cry somewhere. My partner wrote this for me. I had no idea she was writing this. I’m just going to marvel over the fact that someone wants to have this with me, you know, since I’m a huge spaz and flail over everything, like, OMG PUPPIES FLAIL!
But really, all joking aside, this is why this is so important to us. And it has nothing to do with anyone else but us. In no way does it cheapen anyone else’s marriage, hell, the only people who will see us get married are the people who love us, so I fail to see how that has anything to do with anyone outside my circle.
So… yeah I have no more words, she got it all down.
I <3 you snowtigra :)
Oh and good morning to all the new followers of the writing blog. Um… here, have a wonderfully written letter about equality that’s not written by me but is written to me :)
Reblogging because there’s a lady in love with me :)
At the Marriage Equality Rally in San Diego tonight!
I love the reaction woman gif… sometimes I feel the same way. Thank for supporting, but at the same time…really?
This, -_- Fetishizing queerness is really… eugh. :/
“Let my gays marry”
um are you fucking kidding me
Yeah, I mean… I love yaoi and yuri and all that’s in between, but that’s not the only reason why I want equality. I mean, I want to be able to marry the girl I’ve been with for 11 years, that’s why I fight for this. "Those gays" you fantasize about? Um… they can get married, you know, if their show writes it in the script. Me, on the other hand? I can’t get married until people get their shit together. There’s a time and a place for fandom, guys. I hope you legitimately support the cause, not just because you want “the hot boys” to get married, but because you actually want people who love each other to be given the chance.
Tokyo Disney Resort just held its first same-sex wedding! The country doesn’t have marriage equality quite yet, but these happy brides are a glowing example of what might be coming for LGBT couples in Japan.
Reblog to spread the word!
I literally bounced in my seat when I saw this :3
SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
So we all know how I feel about marriage equality, you know, since I’ve been with the same girl for 11 years. I wanted to make something that shows my support. And thus, this coaster was born :)
I’d love to do this to other anime/video game/awesome geeky characters, I just need ideas. For now, Grell seemed like a most excellent choice. Grell is woodburned onto the coaster, hair and glasses painted, along with the tape and the “8” in “NO H8.”
As always, feel free to check out these pages for more of my crafts, commissions pages, and all that jazz:
For 20 years, the Power Rangers have been an unrelenting force for good; teaching generations of children the values of teamwork, diversity, and self-confidence. The show has always celebrated individuality, empowering youth to show courage in the face of adversity.
In keeping with that tradition, 24 former Rangers spanning the entire two-decade run of the series - from the first episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to the last episode of Power Rangers Super Samurai - united for a colorful, one-of-a-kind NOH8 portrait we like to call “Rangers For Equality.”
While these actors have all moved on to a variety of different things, each of them revisited their Ranger roots to send a powerful message of support - inspiring hope that the heroes we cheer for are fighting for us, too.Rangers from Left to Right: ALAN PALMER (Corcus; Black Alien Ranger), RAJIA BAROUDI (Delphine; White Alien Ranger), CERINA VINCENT (Maya; Lost Galaxy Yellow), PHILLIP JEANMARIE (Max; Wild Force Blue), RHETT FISHER (Ryan; Lightspeed Rescue Titanium), BRANDON JAY MCLAREN (Jack; S.P.D. Red), BRITTANY ANNE PIRTLE (Emily; Samurai Yellow), KEITH ROBINSON (Joel; Lightspeed Rescue Green), WALTER EMANUEL JONES (Zack; Mighty Morphin’ Black), STEVE CARDENAS (Rocky; Mighty Morphin’ Red), KARAN ASHLEY (Aisha; Mighty Morphin’ Yellow), DAVID YOST (Billy; Mighty Morphin’ Blue), ROGER VELASCO (Carlos; Turbo Green), ERIKA FONG (Mia; Samurai Pink), TED, TIM, & TOMMY DIFILIPPO (Trey of Triforia; Zeo Gold), ARCHIE KAO (Kai; Lost Galaxy Blue), MIKE GINN (Gem; R.P.M. Gold), MIKE CHATURANTABUT (Chad; Lightspeed Rescue Blue), KIMBERLEY CROSSMAN (Lauren; Samurai Red), SASHA CRAIG (Kelsey; Lightspeed Rescue Yellow), PATRICIA JA LEE (Cassie; Turbo/Space Pink), and BLAKE FOSTER (Justin; Turbo Blue).
This is awesome in so many ways, in like, a thousand of them. omfg the original black ranger is in it that’s right black power equality YEAH!
French journalist from the TV show “Le Petit Journal” interviewing an Obama supporter during the presidential campaign:
- What is LGBT?
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender.- It’s something you stand for?
- Yeah, sexual minorities, sexual preference minorities, since Obama is for them, I’m for him.- You think it’s important?
- Yes. Everyone should — no matter who they love — should be equal.- How old are you?
- I’m eleven.
Preach!
