Mark: In a country where there's so much violence and hatred, I'm shocked that we're changing the laws of our states to be more discriminatory. I believe that the world is only going to be a better place if you allow people who love each other to have equal rights. Craig: The majority likes to control the minority, and marriage is one of the last bastions of the majority's power and control. So many people are so fearful of gay people. This is one way they try to keep us out of their face, out of their life. Mark: People talk about "the gay agenda."I don't know of any agenda except working towards heterosexual people's understanding and acceptance of people who are just a little different than themselves. Craig: In a heterosexual marriage there are certain roles that society assumes — the husband's going to do this, the wife's going to do this. Same-sex couples have the opportunity to negotiate all this stuff and decide who's going to do what. Mark: Almost every day, I go to work with a smile on my face. I function more fully as a healthy, contributing member of society because Craig is in my life. And he is wonderful at remembering anniversaries.
