Let's just pretend I live in the US and not in a country where same-sex marriage is already legal with the same rights as those for straight married couples.
I filled out the poll even though I live in the UK. The Scottish gov't wants to make full marriage available to LGBT couples (currently we have Civil Partnerships) and the PM has made a commitment, too, to bring this forward, though not without opposition from church & religious groups it has to be said.
Interesting poll. All I could think as I filled it out was, I live in Ohio were people like my own sister voted to make banning gay marriage a part of our constitution because her pastor told his whole congregation to "vote the way of the Bible". I get why she and my mom feel that way but I'm a lesbian in a 5 year relationship with someone I can see spending the rest of my life with. How is saying I don't deserve to be married fair? Then again, my mom's 68 and calls my girlfriend my "friend" but any time my brother's dating someone she's a "girlfriend". I'm learning that some people will never understand, and it seems to be those people (also unfortunately) who've never really had unconditional love in their lives.
