“What’s difficult to explain is that for some lesbians and gay men, having our relationships sanctioned and regulated by the state is hardly something to celebrate… As strangers to marriage for so long, we’ve created loving and committed forms of family, care and attachment that far exceed, and often improve on, the narrow legal definition of marriage. Many of us are not ready to abandon those nonmarital ways of loving once we can legally marry.”

April 1st is Census Day! Return your form and be counted.
__ number of peeps in the household
Ethnicity: bird and rabbit
Race: Pink, Yellow, Green
