I would like to start by telling you about a conversation that I just had a couple of days ago with my baby brother. I am a lesbian and been in a relationship with the woman I consider my wife for five years now. My brother is a straight man who has recently gotten into a relationship with a woman that he loves. He started telling me how the two of them met, and went on to tell me how deeply he feels for this woman. The thing that stayed most in my mind was how he described that. He said,” You know sis, how when you are in a relationship with someone and you think that you care for them a lot, but you still need and enjoy time away from that person any time you get it?” ” It’s the exact opposite with us, when we are apart all we want to do is to get back to each other, no matter if it has only been a few minutes or hours.” ” I just miss her being by my side whenever she is not there.” I was honestly able to respond with all my heart ” Yes, I know what you mean, I have felt that way for five years now about the woman that I am with.” With that I began thinking how can the government deny my relationship, yet accept his when we have the same feelings about or loved one.There would be no question if he wanted to get married right now, even though the two of them have only been together for a short time. Everyone would say that is great he has finally found his true love. when I on the other hand want to marry the woman I love and have been with for so long, and have the same, at least, feelings for her, it is considered immoral.The government or anyone else has the right to tell mean that even though we have been building our lives together that legally, it does not matter, because we are of the same gender. For number one there is suppose to be separation of church and state. Secondly, even with religious consideration how dare anyone judge someones relationship, isn’t that Gods job. Are we not also told in the bible judge not least ye be judged. I do not see the difference if I feel the same about the woman I love and how someone else feels about who they love. I also do not think that a gay couple should be denied the rights of marriage. If any couple gay or straight are together and spend their lives together building up each other, buying things together and making so many good memories they should be allowed all rights and benefits of a marriage. Honestly, I love my family, but if something happens to me I want my wife to have the right to make decisions on my behalf. I am not saying that my family would make bad choices, it is just that she now knows me better than anyone else. All the time that we have shared and spent loving each other should give her the right to do what she thinks best concerning anything that has to do with me or my affairs, and well being.
