Oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment

Almost 11 years ago, one of Bill's nephews met the woman of his dreams. Around the same time, Bill met the love of his life. Almost a year ago, that same nephew proposed to his girlfriend of 10 years. Around the same time, Bill proposed to his life partner of 10 years. I was very touched and as excited as anyone who accepts and gets engaged. But in the back of my mind, I knew that we would have to wait for that day when we would really be allowed to get married in the State and Country where in we live. Ironically and by coincidence, on this day when the U.S. Senate begins the federal marriage amendment debate, Bill gets a call from his nephew announcing that they have set their wedding date. We're so happy for them. Congrats K & K! For us, on the other hand, our "date" will just have to wait for a more enlightened America that does not discriminate against equal citizens ...

In an open letter released Monday morning, the head of the Log Cabin Republicans takes President Bush to task for supporting the proposed federal marriage amendment, which the U.S. Senate begins debating today. Patrick Guerriero, the outgoing executive director of the gay GOP group, calls the president's support of the discriminatory amendment "an insult to millions of fair-minded Americans from all walks of life."
