Anti Pleasure

Now as many of my readers know, I am married to another woman. We have been married since September 29th, 2006 from the Justice of Peace. We didn’t have anything too fancy because we are both in our twenties, and want something more extravagant when we are older. The reason why we married (not the only reason, obviously, we love each other) is because we wanted to grab a hold of it, just in case the bill was outlawed. And to bring me to my next point…

Two months after we got married, on December 7th in Canada, Members of Parliament REJECTED Harper’s plan to re-open the same-sex marriage debate. It was defeated and every political party had more MPs supporting than the previous vote. So Harper declared that this issue was settled.

I was a little nervous at that time because I thought for sure how conservative a lot of Canada is, that it would not be legalized anymore.

Right now, a lot of other countries are debating the same-sex marriage issue right now because people feel that “homosexuals” are not part of the traditional marriage. As far as I am concerned, I have the same values as any straight couple. For one, I have mentioned several times that I cannot have kids (physically I cannot) but who is to say down the road, my partner doesn’t want to have kids? This all comes into the factor of the gender roles that society has made. I will let you know this, there is no one in our relationship who wears the pants or is more dominant. It just doesn’t work like that. There doesn’t have to be a “man” in the relationship, although I am sure biased straight people thinks that is how it should be.

There are many types of different families nowadays, and a lot of STRAIGHT people should NOT be parents. I know a lot of Christians are worried because it will affect the population. Well that seems a bit silly to me because it seems like in a lot of countries it is OVER populated. I am not saying that same-sex partners do not want to start families, I am just saying, GIVE IT A REST, people are in love and want the same benefits as a straight couple can have.

I am just so proud to be happily married and I can’t wait one day for us to even re-marry and have a beautiful wedding I have always wanted with her. Right now same-sex marriage is recognized in Canada, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Norway and South Africa. In the United states it is recognized only in the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts and California is on the debate as I type this. We are slowly getting there! My only hope right now is that it legalizes soon in England, rather than a civil partnership because that’s where my lady is from.
