My boyfriend took me out to a movie tonight. Not another gay movie! That's what I would have said before the documentary film "Inlaws and Outlaws" rolled. You know, the typical documentary talking about typical social issues (i.e. injustice, the holocaust, 'coming out', global warming, 9/11, etc.). Anyway, the film may have been about the lives of mainly people from the LGBT community being in love, but a breath of fresh air, actually talking about being in-love, tying the knot and hoping to be seen as equals just like any other person deserves to have. Not just the stereotypical debate about extending  marriage to the LGBT community but actually understanding that just like every other person, we deserve to fall in love and share those moments with the people we actually want to spend the rest of our lives with.

I know it is difficult for many to understand why we should allow gays and lesbians the right to marriage, everyone deserves the right to their own opinion. Sometimes (or most of the time), traditions tend to dictate the way we live our values and define morality. However, we should not forget that values, traditions, not even religion can define how we should love.
