Doomed unions fuel gay rights debate

Full story: www.dailymail.com

As the debate over legalizing same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia grows louder and more polarized, there are people whose support for the proposal is personal but not often talked about. They are federal workers and professionals, men and women who share little except that their former spouses tried to live as heterosexuals but at some point realized they could not.

Gay Mom

I didn't leave my husband of 27 years because I was a lesbian. I left because of massive abuse. While in support through the local domestic violence agency, I began to get myself back, and knew I could now be true to my real orientation. I was in my mid 40's by then. I know my husband was devastated about the divorce, he talked to my dad constantly, but I don't think it was because I later came out as a lesbian. Anyway, he was remarried by then.

Gay Mom (LOVE you!!!) there are so many gal friends of mine who tell the same tale.

I think so many tried to please society instead of themselves - it got many into traps.

Shakespeare said it best: to thine own self be true.

If only we taught our children the same thing!!!

When I was in my 20's I was close to 2 women. They were both about my age. I was gay. I knew, they knew, my family knew, and my employer knew. Both of these women made no bones about the fact that they wanted to marry me. I never understoon, and I politely told them I would never be married, unless it was to a man. They ceased being my friend after I told them this. To this day, I do not understand it, but then, I really don't give it much thought, as it was their hangup, not mine.
