I believe in marriage equality, do you?

It's no skin off of my nose! There is a case of a man who was dying in the hospital and his beloved was not allowed to see him. The fellow was so distraught he committed suicide. That shouldn't have happened. If they had been allowed to marry at the time he could have held his beloved's hand and he would have grieved but would probably not have killed himself.
I would insist on calling it a 'civil union' instead of a marriage though because I am a stick in the mud.
