Love is a fundamental human right. It transcends politics, hate, and cannot be commodified. Love is indifferent to your origin, religion, or skin color. It’s as intricate as it is straightforward.
Imagine someone telling you that your love is insignificant. What if they dismissed your relationship as a mere joke, claiming it lacks authenticity? How would you respond if they suggested your love is somehow inferior to theirs, or that you have no right to experience or express it?
I have openly discussed my relationship with my partner, sharing both our triumphs and struggles. We’ve navigated the highs and lows of our marriage, just like any other couple. Our love is as real as anyone else’s, and no one has the authority to deny that. I don’t care who you worship, where you spend your weekends, or what makes you feel entitled to judge our bond. My marriage is genuine.
Although I didn’t marry in a traditional venue, many don’t. I didn’t seek approval from a religious figure before making my vows, and no one should have to. Yet, even after the law granted me the right to marry the woman I cherish deeply, I still find myself defending our union. I’ve been told that my marriage doesn’t hold the same legitimacy as those of heterosexual couples, that it’s not “traditional.”
At 18, I could sign a marriage license despite being too young to legally drink, yet my love for another woman is scrutinized. How does that make sense? The legal system allows minors to marry but discriminates against those who don’t fit the conventional mold. It’s unacceptable that people misuse their religious beliefs to dictate the rights of others.
My marriage is simply that—a marriage. It should not be influenced by anyone else’s religious beliefs. I don’t judge your relationship choices or look down on your convictions. I won’t belittle your faith, nor will I dismiss your right to happiness. Love is personal and shouldn’t be tied to your religion. All I seek is the same rights afforded to any heterosexual couple, as a matter of basic human decency.
If your morals depend on your faith to define right and wrong, then that’s a belief system I want no part of. But let me be clear: If I am judged for who I love, you too will face consequences for how you express hate.
