Our reluctance to accept gay marriage forces people to move away from their homes and their families.My son will be an asset to his employer, his community and his country, but unfortunately for us, his country will not be the United States.
Cameron is moving to Canada. As soon as he graduates from school, he says, he is packing his bags and leaving.
Why is my son compelled to leave the only country he has ever known? Cameron is leaving because he is gay and because he wants what heterosexual American citizens take for granted. He wants to marry the one person in the world who makes him happier than anyone else. He wants to be able to go to the hospital when his partner, Aaron, is sick and have the same decision-making rights that heterosexual couples have as soon as they say "I do."
