Reply #45: Don't be insulted and hurt.

[put out]

I can't tell you how to feel, of course, and I wish things were as you would want them to be. I too, don't one effing bit appreciate the quality of my long-time partnership reduced to whether or not the sex we have is designed to make children. Who in the wide world would presume to make that kind of judgment upon other people when they are simply trying to love each other and take care of each other? Gender and age and financial circumstances and desires for a fulfilling future and health issues simply put us on the margins and deprive us of a legally protected union with our loved ones? Fuck that.

Here is my idea, not original.

So Alan, sing it out! Say it loud! Say it often! Over and over! We can foster every media; TV, internet, print, radio, to get your message across. I think every dipshit in this country needs to hear precisely what the wonderful Republican party comes up with in a pinch.

Um, by "pinch" I'm not talking about a B.M.

Or, am I? It's late
