"If you think you are not at risk, think again. What was once considered a "gay" disease affects people of any sex, of all ages and from all backgrounds. In fact, women and youth are two of the groups with the fastest growing rates of infection in Canada and around the world."

Also, for those who just don't understand why gays would want to marry, I encourage you to seek out the movie "If These Walls Could Talk 2". It features three stories about lesbian couples (sorry boys, no sex scenes
). One of the stories features an older couple, one of whom dies quite suddenly and tragically. The treatment her partner received after losing the love of her life is also quite tragic. This story has been played out in real-life more than you can imagine.
As a married gay woman, I can tell you personally that separate is not equal.
To the folks that voted yes, thank you for your support. To those that voted no, I hope one day you can truly understand why it is so important that EVERYONE have the same rights.
