The right-wingers in the U.S. Congress and many, not all, churches have tried to say that when same-sex civil marriages were permitted in several Scandinavian countries, marriage rates and such declined and their societies fell to pieces. They were almost completely wrong. Marriage rates were already on the decline, and they actually went up following their recognition of marriage for every citizen. We want to be a part of this very ‘conservative’ marriage ideal. Denying us the right to get some of the benefits afforded straight couples also deinies it to our children. There are millions of same-sex families in the United States, and they are the ones being punished because of ignorance in the name of religion (which I thought our government was supposed to stay out of). We have always been around and we will always be around. It’s your choice to let us sit at the table or not. You condemn us for being promiscuous, and the moment we want to commit monogamously, you say ‘no way.’ In a Democratic society of the people, all should be welcome.

Many people believe this sexual act contributes to the ‘icky’ feeling that most people get when thinking about gay marriage, which is most unfortunate. IS having sex with someone of the opposite gender the only reason that straight folk get married? I hope not. It is certainly not the only reason I want to marry my partner.

Because of this duality (‘in touch with their feminine side’ as we say for many gay men), they often held very special, sometimes revered positions in their tribes. I guess their cultures understood much earlier than ours that we are pretty fabulous.
