I'm no American lover. But it is undisputed: The United States is at the head of its game--- power, economy, technology, culture, music, art and trend.
It is opening doors again---maybe for good or ill. It is not the first country to recognize same sex unions. But it the first country---that matters---which has taken on this potentially divisive issue. The Bill of Rights, women's liberation, racial equality and now, and hopefully, a magna carta for the marginalized lovers.
Please, please engage your constituents. Stir the debates and consciousnesses. Please vote to break the oppressive rules, to cross and to erase exclusionary boundaries and to tear down the Berlin Walls that hem us all in the dark ages.
