Natalie J. Lopez wrote a letter to the editor last week. She was jealous when she got the news that a friend of hers planned to propose to his girlfriend soon. She says those two lovebirds can go down to the courthouse and apply for a marriage license, but she can't.
She's asked her girlfriend to marry her, but gay marriage doesn't exist in the mean old State of Texas. She wishes her friend all the best. "Maybe one day gay couples can be so lucky," she whines.
Well, Natalie, marriage is a union between two people of opposite gender. You have the right to marry just like your friend does. Nothing prevents you and almost any man you choose from going down to the courthouse to apply for a marriage license. You do not, however, have the right to redefine marriage. So you can put your violin away now, because we're not buying it.
