118. And A Whole Lot Of Childfree People...
...that is, heterosexual adults who marry yet do not WANT to have children, can get badly hurt in the process.

I absolutely think that gay people should be permitted to marry and have the exact same rights as straight people.

I resent like hell, as a childfree married woman, that fundie freaks equate "marriage" with "children."

However, I had a tubal ligation last year, and that was by choice, and it was to eliminate any further possibility of getting pregnant. That was with the sanctioning and full support of my husband.

So where would that leave us? Without rights as married people? Annulled marriages, compliments of people proving a point? Isn't that just discrimination against a different group of people?
