The truth that all sex same couples face from the government. The government who should be protecting the people who ever they are. However the cold hard truth is that the government will not listen to the pleads of the gays who are fighting for something that should be a right for them no matter what.

Wow, ZERO thumbs down. I'm surprised. Maybe people are finally seeing us as normal people, and it'll start to look up for us now. : )

Probably not, though.
