[QUOTE="yogini, post: 345210"] I am one of the people the marriage laws affects in a very personal way. My partiner and I will be celebrating our 23rd year together this year. We got married in SF in 2004 and watched that get annulled. This June we will again go to City Hall and get married. All the while we are domestic partners. When my partner or should I say my fiancee and I went to City Hall to sign up for dometic partners there was another couple there a man and a women applying for a marriage license. I felt a sting of hurt in my heart. Yes, it is true, the state considers me and my partner second class citizens. Heterosexuals have a term "Just living together" which implies that you are are have sexual relations, living in the same dwelling, but just living together is NOT THE SAME COMMITTMENT as marriage. We are asking that our relationship of 23 years be considered on a par with your relationship. In my heart, I love my partner and consider our bond the closest I have ever known with another person. Please - Please - Please support our committment as we have joined you in your various civil rights issues. Thank you. Yogini [/QUOTE]
