Thank you for sharing this. I think it's such a great idea and such an important reminder to family and friends that voting really does affect those so close to them. I'm sorry some of your family is still having difficulty. I feel so greatful to live in a place where same sex marriage is legal. There is still discrimination (which kind of blows my mind, I mean, it's 2012..how is this still going on?) but people have the rights they should. It should be that way everywhere.

Yeah this has definitely been one of those times when I keep asking myself why I haven't moved back to Canada. The sad thing is that all the arguing hasn't even been about making it legal, just about not making it extra constitutional style illegal.
