I was honestly beginning to worry--since when does the government reserve the right to pass judgment on one of the most beautiful miracles in the world, love? There are institutions throughout history that have caused pain, suffering, etc. Even the "institution of marriage" causes pain and suffering--when a family divorces. But who the heck has the right to disallow two human beings to stand up for their love and pledge to honor and care for each other? Who has the right to claim that it is disrespectful to the institution of marriage, or even harmful in any way? If two people choose to pledge their love, then they should be allowed to. Loving is not a crime, but hating is, and being judgmental is ridiculous. These two women should be proud of the job they have done as parents. I only hope that one day when I am grown and have children I have such an amazing child. Never lose that amazing spirit, Ali.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416846771793626896.post-6377664762616772382009-06-07T17:39:19.730-04:002009-06-07T17:39:19.730-04:00I'm not surprised this came for a 10 year old ...I'm not surprised this came for a 10 year old because most children are often smarter than they are given credit for. <br />My hat is off to you, Ali!

I know it will inspire some, make others question, and motivate even more to get involved, stand up, and speak out. I'm a 38-year-old straight woman in a 10-year relationship with a man I love dearly but will not even consider marrying until every last American that wants to marry can. The two of us, and my 62-year-old mother, go out to every march, rally, and protest to stand up for equality, for love, for dignity, and what is simply right. We will continue to support our fellow citizens in this fight until it is finally won. We will keep you and your family in mind next time we are out in the rain in the name of love. Thank you!
