Same Sex Couples
Supreme Court Ruling 2015
The Nature of marriage is that,
through it’s enduring bond,
two persons together can find other freedoms,
such as expression,
intimacy,
and spirituality.
This is true for all persons, whatever their sexual orientation.
There is dignity in the bond between two people who seek to marry and in their autonomy to make such profound choices.
He's Not Perfect (song lyrics)
He’s not perfect.
​
You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect.
​
But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can.
​
He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break.
​
Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give.
​
Don’t analyze.
​
Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there.
​
Love hard when there is love to be had, because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.
Dynasty (song lyrics)
The tale survives of two men
Who fell in love "at first sight";
Who shared everything
In unbounded intimacy
Including the pillow
And the red embroidered coverlet
Which had been in the family
For generations.
​
Whether they had bad days,
Domestic arguments
Or inappropriate dreams
We do not know –
No doubt such burrs
Were worked away by time
Polishing its story;
​
How they found each other
And lived together all their lives,
And died on the same day,
And were buried by the grieving town
On Mount Luofo's peak
With their pillow and red coverlet;
And a pine tree grew
Out of the grave
Like the character for longevity
And true love.
​
Such is the legend.
​
I like to think of them,
Pan Zhang and Wang Zhangxian,
In the crowd of well-wishers
Waiting in the April sunshine,
Yes, under white cherry trees
In full bloom, for us
Here and now, on this day
Early in the century,
In our very best suits and ties,
With our new rings
Growing warm on our fingers
Like keepsakes of light
Saved from the stars.
