- Why do people feel it necessary to have society sanction their
- relationships by getting married? And if they *must* get married, why do
- they feel the need to "advertise" it to 30,000 readers of a newsgroup?
- I sorta figured out that I loved someone about 2 years ago (not long
- after I came out to myself) but its not something that I feel the need
- to "advertise."
