Here is my fuzzy cell phone picture of me on Freedom to Marry Day at USF. I performed 3 mock ceremonies and one almost real one for two friends and life partners.
Maybe one day, the country that I am a Citizen of will finally believe I am deserving of the same basic right as any straight person. They will value me instead of my color, ethnicity, religious belief or sexual orientation.
At my friends ceremony this is what I said:
"We are gathered here in the sight of the universe to join two hearts in an eternal bond as witnessed by all USF students, faculty and visiting professionals here present or in denial of it."
"From the beginning of recorded time souls have called to souls, sought each other out, and in evidence of their great faith have pledged their eternal love and devotion to each other..."
