Til death do us part...especially if you're gay

This article in the Boston Globe is an excellent take on the impact of DOMA and leaving states to define marriage

'As Evan Wolfson of Freedom to Marry says, “the irony is that the antigay forces are so opposed to gay relationships they won’t even let us out of them."'

It would be laughable if it wasn't so hurtful.

The Cost of not being able to Marry

This NY Times article was very enlightening. It projects the extra costs gay couples have to pay because the federal government doesn't recognize gay marriage. It's really a great itemized account of the very real costs we have to pay that married couples don't have to worry about. I'd gladly pay that 'marriage penalty' to avoid all of the precautions that Tom and I have had to put in place to take care of each other.
