yeah i know. it makes me sad. ive lost friends when i came out, here in virginia. i see the hatred run rampant out here "in the boonies" where i live on a daily basis. but it will come. my partner and i could go to another state to get married but we are not, becuase it is just a meaningless piece of paper and not fair to everybody else in the state, who are in love, and just want to be with the person of their dreams.
