11. My partner and I share your grief
We will have been together 13 years this coming February though some pretty amazing circumstances. We haven't yet been availed marriage, but I can imagine the shock at having something so basic suddenly taken away.

All we're asking for is human dignity. That's all. For all the love and effort we put into making a home and a life together, basic recognition is not too much to ask.

In NC, we don't even have the chance, but we're working toward it. My partner and I will be attending a demonstration in solidarity with you, our brothers and sisters in California, this Saturday. I hope you can feel our love and support. If we can get you back on your feet, then work on Florida and Arkansas, then maybe in time the rest of us will have our chance at the table, too. It's going to take all of us, all of the time, one thing at a time.

But right now, we're sending hugs and love your way. It's not over. Not by a long shot, my friends. :hug:
