This news brought tears to mine & my partners eyes. We are hopeful that our own law makers will come to realize just how silly it is to ban marriage between two adults regardless to their gender. I don't see how anyone can claim that a union between two women or two men hurts a union of 1 man & 1 woman.
What hurts is continued hatred to others that differ from ourselves. What hurts is a parent that teaches their child by example & exposure of this hatred so that it spoils yet another generation.
Becca & I have said that we are completely prepared to take our desire to have a full & legally recognized marriage to the highest courts because law makers can't have it both ways. Our case isn't just about same sex marriage... it is far more. Becca was born male. She is originally from Massachusetts, where they have laws that permit same sex civil unions that most of the other 50 states don't recognize. She has changed her gender on her Birth Certificate as part of her transition.
But Florida will not change her gender of male to female on her driver's license until after she has had her SRS. (Though medically she is chemically castrated) Florida has laws that states that they only recognize a person as the gender that they were born regardless of transition, yet they will not issue us a marriage license.
They CAN'T have it both ways!!
