I know commitment

A week ago I noted a posting by Rob Tisinai that gays should have the rights of marriage because we already shoulder the responsibilities. At the end of the post Tisinai asked readers to share their stories. Over this past week they did. The stories tell of one pulling the other through financial difficulties or grave illness (for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health) many times battling bureaucracy that doesn't recognize their relationship. All of them spoke of doing it gladly. Commenter Steve concludes with, "So don’t talk to ME about commitment. I know what it is."
