Is marriage equality really that important? Etc. etc.<br /><br />There's argument that no they aren't, but that doesn't mean people who feel passionately about them shouldn't keep up the fight. There will always be something more pressing for the Government to think about than "the little things". And that's why those who care about the little things need to shout from the rooftops for reform.Jae Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816403017115766947noreply@blogger.com
