That's a good question, and to be honest I'm not sure what the answer is.
When I think about marriage I think about the kind of things you and Gerald have- not just legal protections and things, but committment and love and trust etc etc I am a Hallmark card evidently. As for approval... that's never really been something I've wanted from anyone (except possibly my parents and they'd probably be psyched if I married anyone at all, except possibly Ted Bundy). The idea of the state approving of my (hypothetical, future) relationship makes me a little uncomfortable.

So: I don't know. :/
