I read in a magazine that they’re going to get married in a a few months. I’m so excited for them. I’m glad that they get to get married in the place that means so much to them! Congratulations! :,)

I was so encouraged by this video. It is the rankest cruelty to hate or otherwise dislike people for what they cannot help; whether it be color, sexual orientation, gender, etc., it’s still very base thinking. I’ve gotten over caring about what people may think of me–we’re going to New York to get married! Good luck Richard and John!

The highlight of my workday today was talking to Richard on the phone to sell a financial subscription. You know, he said I had a nice voice and he asked me if I like to sing. And he told me about Freedom To Marry It opened my eyes and ears. This video opens my eyes and ears just like the two old world war II vets sitting on a bench at the March on Washington in ’93 Remember we are spiritual beings experiencing a human existence We re all part of the same energy. Thank you Richard

A beautiful couple. In Australia they would’ve received a letter from the Queen and Prime Minister for their 60th anniversary… oh, but that’s only for straight people >< **, cause gay couples are far too promisciuos (sp) to last that long or to commit, right? LAWL. A beautiful couple who deserves all and more. x
