Politics can’t change the way we feel about our partners, but it has changed the way we feel about marriage in California. For us, state-run marriage is tainted. To marry the people we love, we must enroll in an institution that is discriminatory and unfair. Prop 8 made that clear. Marriage now feels like the wrong way to begin our lives with people we love so much.
