I sometimes wonder whether the gay rights movement being defined by the pursuit of traditional marriage is misguided. How can the gay community gain acceptance but avoid heterosexualization?

We aren’t fighting for marriage equality simply because we want to get married (not all of us do) or get “heterosexualized.” We’re fighting for the choice to get married. All Americans deserve equal access to the institution of marriage and the army if they so desire it, and we’re all welcome to live our lives (or not) in any way we see fit once “all men are created equal” includes everybody. I don’t want to be in the army, but DADT still matters to me.

As Sarah SIlverman so eloquently said:

“Dear America, when you tell gay americans that they can’t serve their country openly or marry the person that they love, you’re telling that to kids, too, so don’t be fucking shocked and wonder where all these bullies are coming from that are torturing kids and leading them to kill themselves because they are different. they’re learning it from you.”
