I can think of no good reason, logical reason, human reason, to keep two people who love each other apart from each other because of "laws" written for specific groups of tribes in antiquity.

I can't say any more.

Please give a "must have a tissue handy" warning for us "overly" sensitive types. Nevermind. Those who need the warning don't need the lesson and those who need the lesson don't need the warning.

They are kept apert because of DOMA with the exception when Jason can get a tourist Visa.

A very moving video on just one way LGBT people are discriminated against.

I should add even though it's a very moving video, it'very sad.
