Rachel is not alone. I totally get her point. For me however, the issue isn’t simply relationship recognition, but rather equal treatment under the law. I’m sure she would agree.
“I feel that gay people not being able to get married for generations, forever, meant that we came up with alternative ways of recognizing relationships,” she told THR. “And I worry that if everybody has access to the same institutions that we lose the creativity of subcultures having to make it on their own. And I like gay culture.”
I wanted to post this however, because I love her quote here. “I love gay culture.” At times if we get too caught up in talk of Equality, we can miss remembering how we are unique and different and amazing.
