    We can rise above the law

    The LGBT community in the US has been screwed over by the law for years. And it looks like we'll continue to be screwed for years into the future. What we, as a community, need to learn is that we can and should treat each other better than the law treats us. We can and should treat each other with respect and integrity. Just because we don't currently have a universal right to marry doesn't mean that we should lower our morals and our principles to the level of our oppressors.
