We have our marriage rights in Canada.Yet only a very small amount of us have gotten married.It's not for everyone-gay or str8.My partner and I have been together 15 years and we are legally married.As gay men who fought for this right we remember what marriage is-it's not simply about tax cuts or spousal benefits.If you don't subscribe to what a marriage is then don't get married.In doing so you mock those of us who did this for the right reasons-because we love each other.
