I want you to look at me…..I was born in this life and I will die in this life…..where I go after this life is my own concern. But while I am on this earth….I am not above you or below you…I am your equal and I should be treated like your equal. I should have the right to marry if you have that right. I should have the right to leave my spouse a pension if you may leave your spouse a pension. My dignity is at stake and I need you to look at me and care about my well being, on earth.
