Same-Sex Marriage

Thank you, thank you, thank you to APA President Steven Sharfstein, M.D. for his comments in his September 16 column. As someone approaching a 22-year anniversary in a long-term, committed, same-gender relationship, it was encouraging to have this important topic argued in such a cogent manner. This is precisely the kind of issue on which APA should take a stand, and I hope Dr. Sharfstein's well-considered comments set the standard for ongoing debate.
