Heartbreaking diary about marriage discrimination

A horrible diary about a man who had to sit in his car in a hospital parking lot and say goodbye to a photograph as his husband died in a hospital room that he wasn't allowed to enter.

Because of marriage discrimination.

This is what right wingers don't get. Marriage discrimination doesn't touch them at all. They can claim to be the righteous ones because they're protecting marriage from the dirty dirty homos. The problem is that if the dirty dirty homos get married, it won't actually affect the right wingers' marriages in the slightest.

But by denying us the right to marry, to be equals, to have the same legal protection for our love that the heterosexual community takes for granted, these bigots cause this to happen. They cause husbands to be denied the right to say goodbye to the one they love. To be forced to sit in a car in a hospital parking lot and say goodbye to a photograph of the one they love.

Marriage discrimination is evil.
