For me gay marriage is something I want more than riches or fame or social status because when your married it brings with it stability and safety. When I find my mate the one who will be there for me always I don’t want to be told that I can’t see him in the hospital if he is in a coma because we are both men. I don’t want to be forced to pay more federal and/or state taxes because the person I want to kiss, hug, cuddles with and make love to happens to have a penis instead of a vagina. I don’t want to worry about what if one of us dies in a state that doesn’t see our union as valid I don’t want either of us to have to fight for a dead body so we can make sure our wishes are carried out. To sum it all up I want gay marriage because I am neither worth more or less than heterosexual people I am worth the same as them and I want to be treated the same respect as them.
