Don't Divorce Them!

“Fidelity”: Don’t Divorce… from Courage Campaign on Vimeo. This made me cry. I just don’t understand why love is so subjective in the eyes of the law. I signed the Courage Campaign online petition and I hope you do too if this is something you feel strongly about. Happy Valentine’s Day.
