Mental Health and Marriage

"Within a handful of years, marriage equality has catapulted from an obscure social concept to a polarizing political issue on par with abortion, stem cell research, and the death penalty. Yet while the political debate has raged about the meaning of marriage and who should have the right to marry, little is known about the effect denial of same-sex marriage has on the gay and lesbian population."

This would be a fascinating and meaningful research study, and perhaps the results would humanize lesbians and gays for those who tend to think of this population as some alien "other."

Crystal, I was touched by the personal story you shared. Somehow it is sad that simply loving another human being can get so complicated.
