While I am very disappointed that he would not consider signing the bill, it was expected.
We need to work in the state to get the population to understand we are not a threat to the institution of marriage. We are not trying to destroy society, we are trying to be accepted into society.
We just want the state to recognize that we can have just as a commited relationship as any man and woman can. If you could file a "joint" tax return as Domestic Partners, then it wouldn't be as much of a problem. If you could have the same legal rights as a "Marriage" with the "Domestic Partner" papers, then we wouldn't need to fight as much.
Maybe we need to improve the Domestic Partner rights.
