Nice that you are encouraging her to get more political. That is the only way things will ever change.

Marriage equality was just recently approved here in Maryland. You wouldn't believe the opposition that had to be overcome to do it.

I'm straight, but I was pretty vocal about my support for gay marriage. My parents were pretty unhappy with my views on it. I sum it up like this - Do we believe in equal rights or not?

Good luck to you an your GF. I hope you'll be able to marry soon.

Keep your GF on the "political" path!

PEACE!
