My partner and I have been together 23 years, and raised 3 children. We live in Las Vegas but flew to Los Angeles and were married this year. We own a home in a very nice community. Over the years, we've owned several homes, paid taxes, had the same bills and expenses as heterosexual couples. One thing missing, we can't share the same benefits! It's wrong. Those who take and have taken our money over the years, it's the same color, same denominations and certainly the Federal Government hasn't refused our money. Why won't they provide us equal rights. We work, vote, pay taxes, buy goods, pay health insurance, etc. Why can't we be afforded equal rights? We've been together longer than a lot of heterosexual couples. Check out the divorce rate in this country and then talk to me about marriage between a man and a woman!
