Frankly the second couple is so much more committed to each other, yet they're penalized for both being women. Why? Or my oldest friend, whose partner felt forced by immigration law to marry a man. They lived a sham and lied under oath so that she could stay here (then right after two years, a divorce and a pregnancy - now three children together). This is how we make outlaws? Why? <br /><br />Best wishes to Mark & Fred and all others!NOLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572754078356812922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-80443698455347622712012-01-11T17:51:38.341-05:002012-01-11T17:51:38.341-05:00I hope the CNN story helps them out.

He asked all the right questions and we had an answer for each one. As is standard business, we did not receive an answer today but one will be coming. When? I don't know. But because of DOMA, we already know what the official answer will be. After almost 22 years, the stress officially begins today.<br />Thank you for sharing our story. There are 38,000 couples just like us who you are also helping by spreading the word.<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049586061176648341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-89550067074545647862012-01-11T16:09:45.632-05:002012-01-11T16:09:45.632-05:00Wow.

The Defense Of Marriage Act is one of the most offensive things that is wrong with our (mostly great) country today. <br /><br />I'll be thinking about them today, and hoping intensely that things go RIGHT for them all. Breaking up their family would be so very WRONG.<br /><br />I wish there was something I could do to help in a tangible way. :(~ellen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00315658592077559215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-38061858352030441012012-01-11T08:47:14.010-05:002012-01-11T08:47:14.010-05:00Our country is blessed by them.
