I'm 45, a mother and a postal worker. I also happen to be in long-term relationship with a woman. We both work, pay taxes, vote, do volunteer work, and lead full, productive lives. My partner Sara and I have been together for over four years and we formalized our lifetime commitment to each other in ceremony several year ago. In a fair and non-discrimminating society, we would be able to obtain the same benefits for each other than heterosexual Americans obtain when they marry. I've worked for the postal service for 10 years, yet I can't obtain health insurance for Sara, nor can I use family leave to care for or be with her if she's ill, has had surgery or has been injured. Heterosexual employees who are marred of get married can get benefits for a spouse and any number of children, including adopted, foster and stepchildren. Even when we have legal papers drawn up to protect our rights, property and relationships, it often takes lengthy and expensive court battles to get other people to honor our wishes and instructions. Sometimes we lose those battles, and some rights(like family health insurance coverage) we simply can't get. No one should be surprised that we want the right to marry
