100 days of marriage equality in Iowa
Found this on the “Bleeding Heartland” blog and got a chuckle out of it. It reminds me that we draw so many conclusions about others, that may or may not be correct. How much better of a society would there be if we allowed ourselves to ask more questions, even if sometimes the response is an “oops” and really got to know each other. I’ve read the Bleeding Heart on and off over time, and it is a wonderful read.
So far my marriage has not collapsed under the strain of sharing rights with gays and lesbians. The worst thing that’s happened to me because of marriage equality was making a faux pas when I ran into an acquaintance I hadn’t seen in a long time. She’s been living with another woman for at least 15 years, so I asked if they had gotten married. She looked surprised, then said, “Oh, we’re not…that way. I mean, I know everyone thinks we are, but we’re not.” Oops!
