I come from Maine and I live in CT now and was married to a man at a beautiful bed and breakfast owned by an awsome straight couple who did the whole wedding for us. People in Maine need to have a new way of thinking, the world is changing everyday. Are you and some of the other hick country folks from around the USA who stay in the in the 1950s? Open your minds and start to think how you would feel if your son, daughter, wife , or husband came to you and said he or she was gay, or they met someone who made them happy, do you want them not to be happy or you want them not to have the same wrights as you. It is time to move on people, life is too short to be so narrow minded. We all deserve to be happy.

Thanks for coming by and sharing some thoughts on this Kristina – never too late to join the party. I agree with you 100% here – there needs to be a clear distinction between church and state. If we don’t want to call gay marriage “marriage” – whatever – but everyone, regardless of who their with, should be given the same legal rights and protection. Denying someone those rights because of who they choose to go to bed with has never and will never make any sense to me…

Thanks again Kristina. This was one of my “defining” posts and discussions as a blogger.

Hi Matt, I’m a day late and a dollar short on this post but I wanted to put in what I was thinking when I read this.

First, thanks are in order. Not everyone with the experience such as yourself has the ability to openly talk and discuss this issue. Thanks my friend.

Secondly, I’m a firm believer that marriage is a sacrament of the church. No state should be able to tell us who we can marry. Instead, as I head to the courthouse with my fiance in a few months I think we should be getting a ‘civil union license’. From there, the church handles the marriage part. The church, spiritual organization or something along those lines should be the ones handling the marriage.

I’m straight, I want a civil union. Let my church marry me, let my government join us on paper for healthcare, taxes, wills and official documents. Let my religious or spiritual organization handle things from there.

Thanks, Matt.

Agreed – it will take time, but there is real change happening every day. It takes people like you, me, and everyone else here to start conversations, raise awareness, and get people thinking in new ways. Thank you for your kind words!

It is what it is for now, for sure. But! People like you, who are respectably but passionately vocal about these controversial issues, have created conversation and will become a part of a collective progress towards change! Homosexuality has already become more accepted in North America than ever before. I’m sure it’ll only get better from here.
