To all the people who started this fight but especially to those who didn’t get to see it end the way it has. So many. Too many.
Thank you.

North Carolina looks to pass a law that will make it impossible for same sex couples to have anything that even resembles marriage – a law that’s referred to as a super DOMA. Wisconsin has one in place, too, and I understand, for some, they are meant to uphold a traditional Christian marriage of one man + one woman.
What they do, sadly, is make LGBTQ feel less welcome, cause an increase in bigotry and violence against queer people, and put many children of LGBTQ people further into legal limbo when their parents separate, amongst other things.
I do not understand why civil recognition of my partnership offends people so deeply that they would pass this kind of law.
I don’t understand why people hate gay people so much.
