So, me getting married devalues your marriage? Makes you want to get married less? Seriously? I can honestly say that no one elses marriage has any effect on my marriage. Maybe your relationship needs work if me getting married "nullifies your incentive" to get married.
No, you getting married is not the same as when I got married and no matter how it is recognized it will never been the same in my eyes.

Move. If it's that important to you and you love your partner, then move.
Then move. That's what people do when they are seeking opportunity. There are states that do. There are things I could not do in my home state, that influenced me moving from it. People do it all the time. If it's that important than make the effort.
Why would I want to move? My state recognizes same-sex marriage. Soon all states will recognize same-sex marriage, maybe it's you who needs to move.
For some reason you seem confused, we are talking about the United States not other foreign countries.
Maybe you should follow your own advice.
Many of those people live here and they vote. As a matter of fact, every time you get gas in your gas tank, you are likely funding the same people who support gay marriage bans and support killing gays in their home countries.

Why should a law-abiding US citizen have to move to have the same legal rights as other citizens?
Some people don't think only of themselves, but think also of others. It's a good thing too, because that is how injustices come to an end.
Okay. Injustice coming to an end is very apt for this thread anyway. Jesus will be the ultimate judge of injustices.
