To my friends and family.... I normally don't send things like this out, but it's a very important issue to me. I think most of you know that my partner (T) and I are not allowed back in the US as a couple. This is ONLY because we're homosexuals. There is NO law in place where a couple of the same sex can sponsor their foreign partner to come over (as you can in a heterosexual relationship) and live with them in the states. We have had to make the decision (and a VERY expensive one, I might ad) to live together in the UK. Even though the UK can be a little behind on certain things, they are much more advanced in the rights for same sex bi-national couples. T and I dream of the day we can live in the states. We both miss it very much and would love to come back. You can do your part in various ways. You can write/email your government officials, you can oppose any attempts to ban gay marriages, you can vote "yes" to gay marriages should it be on a ballot, you can tell all your friends to do the same, etc. So every little bit will help. Please take notice.
Thank you!

J-friend,
Thanks for posting that for the girls. I know most things in the rev-cafe are light and fun but it is important to stay aware of our world. Sometimes you gotta "Be who you are and say what you feel" (I read that somewhere! *wink*) So thanks again sister-woman.
Yours Royally,
Queenie
i've signed a petition on the human rights campaign site. these politicians and advocates of a gay marraige ban have never (and will never) state a convincing case of how gay marraige hurts anyone.
i think average citizens make much better decisions on how to run their lives than the government.
J & T, you've got my support!
Thanks Kiddo for posting what we had to say, on your blog. I must say we have some WONDERFUL supportive friends (especially yourself and HRH Queenie). Thank you! And hopefully one day we can come home and party like it's 1999 (opps....that is already past. Ok, party until it's 2099). Jamwall....thanks for your support! You ROCK!!!
J & T
