I'm thankful I live in Canada, a country which honors same sex marriages.
Quote: On July 20, 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world and the first country in the Americas to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act. Court decisions, starting in 2003, each already legalized same-sex marriage in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories, whose residents comprised about 90% of Canada's population. Before passage of the Act, more than 3,000 same-sex couples had already married in these areas.[1] Most legal benefits
commonly associated with marriage had been extended to cohabiting same-sex couples since 1999.
Though I am not gay I strongly believe in the right of choice along with any compensations aloted to heterosexuals.
These are just my thoughts but I think the U.S. will be some time yet in getting it together with this issue as there seems to be such a huge Christian and redneck population that has control of and is of the government.

You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
