You meet another girl and you fall in love. You live in California and you marry the girl of your dreams. Now imagine you live in Florida where there is an amendment named the Anti-Gay Constitutional Amendment which restricts you from a same-sex marriage, domestic partnership and civil union. What would you do? Move away from your family, friends, work and more or never be fully committed in your relationship with your same-sex partner. Same-sex couples want the same protections as non gay couples.
