So getting married to a british citizen is awesome, and planning a marriage is as fun as I thought it would be. HOWEVER. Gay marriage is a whole other ball of wax, and i am really getting pissed off that 1/3 of my taxes is going to a country that makes this life changing event impossible.
The brits, known for their rationalism and common sense, made gay marriage legal 5 or so years ago. Since Rach lives in the States, going to get married there involves staying in the UK for a three week minimum. Taking off three weeks is not only expensive, but not possible with work.
The brits will recognize marriage/civil partnerships from other countries…but now there are fights being mounted in Mass and Cali, and if those ignorant people win their stupid battle to take gay marriage off the table for these states, our civil partnership in Britian becomes null and void. So we have to be extremely careful about where we get married (hello, Canada??) and it all just mars an otherwise incredibly happy time.
Why are Americans so obsessed with this issue, as in obsessed that gay people are happy and doing the nasty? And why are gay people so freaking complacent about it? Ugh.
