An open letter to my MP
Publish Date: 04/02/2013
Here Erica shares her amusing open letter to Nuneaton MP Marcus Jones about her wish for equal marriage.
It’s me, Erica. I’ve written to you a couple of times before about abortion and rape and that but I’m writing to you again now because I see that the bill for same-sex marriage has just been published.
I noticed that you’ve already made your opposition to this known so I thought I’d send you a little email to try and change your mind.

Ahem. Me and April have been together for 10 wonderful years. She’s a hilarious, delicious and dreamy human being and I can’t imagine life without her. I mean, just look how cute she is! (ignore the kitten – it’s not about the kitten right now) |
 |
Anyhoo, as a couple, we’re just adorable. Seriously, if you knew us you’d want to just squash us so hard. All of our friends are sickened by how much in love we are. Look at us being fun together. Look! |
 |
We got civil partnershipped (doesn’t roll off the tongue does it?) in 2008 and it was ever such a lovely day! Look how happy we are! |
 |
And then just imagine how happy we’d be with a full on marriage! |
I do find it difficult to comprehend that someone would actually make a conscious decision to deny us gays the same rights as the straights. We’re just people in relationships, living our lives...

...going skydiving |
 |
...having family scraps |
 |
...making snow kittens |
 |
having bird legs and just generally minding our business. |
So come on, vote in support of the bill and make this picture even more awesome than it already is...
