Life isn't fair. No one said it was, and it shouldn't be fair, because then there wouldn't be any competition, any winners and losers, any motivation and pure drive to do and be the best.

I think that marriage is a commitment between any couple, straight or gay. We all have rights, each and every one of us. And some people are rooting for Congress to not allow us to practice those rights. Now, I never have been married. From word of mouth, marriage is hard to obtain, but if you love...
