Hey, my agenda is also similar. I want to have the same legal protections for my family as striaght people have. I also want to be free to raise my children in a country where I am not subject to institutionalize discrimination. I would like to be able to work without fear of being fired just because I live with another woman.
I guess these things can be pretty threatening.
Cool, you and your partner have children? That's great! I agree, I want to be free of this oppressive institutional discrimination as well. In the mean time me and my long term partner will marry soon. Both families and a preacher will be present to marry us.
Here is some humor
