[Vision2020] Re: Never Letting Go

[Scott Dredge]

I don't care to restrict marriage either.  A couple of
years ago, one of my relatives was planning on walking
down the aisle for the third time.  When I asked her
why she was in such a hurry to get married yet again,
she stunned me with a response of "health insurance". 
There are many different and sometimes very
complicated reasons for getting married or wanting to
get married.  Why does a simple and powerful phrase of
"live and let live" not resonate in favor for at least
equal benefits for same sex couples in America in
pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness?
