Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject. I did see this on the front page of the NYT but didn't get around to blogging until today. I know a gay couple who has been "married" since 1988 and have a really strong & balanced relationship--even considering what the book has to say about issues that gay couples encounter that hetero couples don't. I also know another couple who is the most generous, caring, and community-minded couple out of anyone I know. It doesn't matter that these people are in same-sex marriages. What matters is that they are decent, empathetic, philanthropic, loving individuals who respect each other and humankind. These people deserve the tax and other benefits that married hetero's are privileged with. There is nothing to explain to society other than these are two people who love each other and in their commitment to each other and God (they are Christians) they make the world a better place. This probably can't be said for most straight couples we know, which doesn't make them better, but certainly not any less deserving.
