10/2/10 - On this date my partner and I will be getting married. Whether or not this union is recognized by the government or not is yet to be seen. However, one thing is certain: everyday I experience a love that is deeper, kinder, sweeter, and sometimes more maddening, then I could have ever dreamed. I know that I am not alone. Anyone who has experienced love knows that it is something to be blessed and strengthened, not discriminated against. I have no doubt that one day soon we will see beyond gender and see love -- just love.
