I'm married to a movement

where I can love across language and borders.

I’m married to a movement

where I don’t have to choose my safety over my truth.

I’m married to a movement that fights for every LGBTQ

person to have good food to eat and a safe place to sleep.

I am married to a movement

that believes queer history is important and necessary.

I’m married to a movement where every person of color

is not defined by racism.

I’m married to a movement that fights for a world

where every queer and trans kid goes to a school which

treasures them and validates their existence.

I’m married to a movement

that ties your freedom to my freedom.

Gay marriage is important and we still have so much to fight

for together as lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender, and queer people.

The reason we have changed this country

for LGBTQ people is that as LGBTQ people

we have been brave, we have loved each other,

and we have worked together on more than one issue.

We need each other now. We cannot be whole by ourselves.
