I Feel Like I Have A Special Obligation to Fight For Marriage Equality
I am the product of an interracial marriage. Yes I know you don't have to be married to have an interracial baby but because my parents were, I was able to be put on their insurance with out any hassle and when they divorced visitation, and child support was not a big deal . When I was in the hospital both of them were able to visit with out a problem and when they die anything they want to leave me willnot be questioned.


I believe anybody in or the the product of an interracial marriage has a special obligation to fight for marriage equality. I also believe any one who is against total marriage equality is as bigoted as some jack ass who is against interracial marriage

3. I'll go one further
I believe anyone thats married has an obligation to fight for marriage equality. It's so incredibly sad that people cant commit themselves to the ones they love and obtain the legal rights that come with that commitment under the law.

4. I might be one of the stupid ones but
I don't understand why these people are so against same sex marriage. I don't see any thing wrong with it. It's something I don't want to do, but if there are people that do, who are we to say they can not marry.
