I was on facebook earlier and saw yet another story of a same-sex couple that couldn't visit the other in a hospital. Some of these couples have been together for 20-40 years that I have read in these articles. I can't comprehend this. If we replace in these articles "partner" for "friend" it would read "friend of 37 years." Who would keep someone who has been a person's friend for 37 years from a friend in a hospital (especially a friend who could be dying)? Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. People should be ashamed, our government should be ashamed. Marriage is about love and friendship. A man and woman get married because they love each other and are best friends, same with a man who wants to marry a man and a woman who wants to marry a woman. Equality. That's what we need. We should already have it, but we don't. Why? Why are people scared of equality? It is a matter of power. People have to stomp on others to continue believing they are superior to make themselves seemingly worth more.
Here is a call out: write to your government and make your voice heard: WE WANT EQUALITY FOR ALL!!!!!!!!! It could be as simple as that. If everyone sent that simple message to their government, they would have to take action.
