This conversation was just awesomely enlightening and inspiring. It really let me know how incredibly important it is still, and into the forseeable future, to get out there and address the blocks, barriers and difficulties we have in finding emotionally connected and fulfilling lives.
Our solutions go far beyond political. I am as happy as practically anyone that gays can finally serve in the military with the freedom and honor they deserve. And I, like a lot of others, feel that marrige is probably not far off either.
As to marrige, my feeling about it has been this; what we need is the law not the word. If gays wind up having their word (and eating too when they want a divorce) then that's fine. But a word is not a relationship and it should not own or be owned. What I am trying to say here is that even if every law we ever wanted changed was done so tomorrow that does not mean we actually know how to love ourselves and each other successfully; and we had better start talking about how THAT happens!
