"I've got something to tell you"
Every person fears those words. It's hardly ever used for happy things, and they tend to be the start of a life changing conversation. In recent times there has been so much said about marriage equality, and the rights of every person to be married to the person they love. The law is not just about the right to marry as there are few legal benefits to the institution, and it's an institution with more holes than Swiss cheese. I've heard every argument for and against, and I remain convinced by the argument for. That's my choice. Choices are what we make to create change, to have decisions, to pass laws and to get on with the job. We have choices that define us as people, but our fundamental core is not a choice. Call it DNA, call it programming, genetic ancestry, whatever title we give it we have no choice in it. I didn't choose to be half-Slovak. I didn't choose to have red hair and green eyes. And, I didn't choose to be straight. Imagine that?
