I'm getting married in September (yes, you all knew that already, because I go on about it all the time). I'm able to do this because the person with whom I want to spend the rest of my life happens to have genitals that are shaped differently from mine.

This saddens me, and, contrary to the claims of those who oppose equality in marriage, it weakens the whole institution for me.
