Love is love, and it’s as easy as that. It has no definition, no biblical restriction, and no boundary.

Love has no time limit, no face, and no name. Love has never been seen, or heard, or touched, however, it has been felt. It has never hurt or killed, but it has been broken. Love is many things and comes in many shapes and forms and sizes.

One thing love is not, is limited.

Love is especially not limited to a man and woman.

I am a straight male, and like any other straight male, I have no idea what life as a gay man would be like, or what life would look like as any other member of the LGBTQ community.

I have always known that when I find a partner I can freely express my interest in that person without fear of social judgement and rude remarks. I have never had to hide in fear of what my family and friends may or may not say, I have never had to worry that those closest to me would turn on me if they found out that I was gay.

I am a straight male, society has been pretty good to me in my relationships.

Society has been pretty shitty to you in yours.

You have been judged, you have been talked down to, you have been hated upon, you have hidden your love from those closest to you in fear of losing those closest to you, and yet in the midst of all these horrible things, your love remained limitless.

You stuck by your then partners, now husbands through everything. Through the best of times and the worst of times, through sickness and in health, through judgements and fears and through biblical and liturgical isolation your love has never been broken.

You men and your loves are limitless.

You six men have shown me and the rest of the world what love is, and for this I will be forever indebted to you.

If I am so lucky to find a woman that makes me half as happy, or a quarter as happy as you all make each other, I will consider myself to be the luckiest man on the planet, and there’s not a damn person that knows you that feels any different.

Any person that says love can only exist between a man and a woman obviously has never been able to open themselves up to the possibility that there could be a love more sure and as pure as his or her own.

I assure those people that after one look at the chemistry you all share with your other halves, their minds would be immediately and forever changed.

I respect you, I envy you, and I love you all, but most of all I firmly believe that the love you all share with your partner is now more than ever limitless.
