00:05 >> Let's go to that question about the marriage, about the relationship.
00:11 >> It comes up every once in a while.
00:13 >> You talk about it.
00:13 >> Yeah, we talk about it.
00:15 And every time we talk about it,
00:17 there's always a pain because we've built a life together.
00:23 And it's so weird that business partners have more rights than couples like us.
00:29 >> Yeah.
00:30 >> We pay for our house, but we're still together.
00:35 >> Taxes.
00:36 >> Exactly.
00:37 >> Okay, taxes.
00:38 >> Exactly.
00:39 >> We pay for everything.
00:40 >> So we don't understand why until now,
00:43 we're always saying that we don't have to get married in church
00:49 because we respect their beliefs so much.
00:52 But I think it's also important for the state.
00:55 It's very important for the state to recognize.
00:57 >> The rights.
00:58 >> The rights that couples like us exist.
01:01 You can't just put aside the rights of many people because of your beliefs.
01:08 >> Thank you for saying that because I totally, totally agree.
01:11 I have a sadness, I'll accept that I'm a little angry.
01:15 >> Same.
01:16 >> I have a pain.
01:17 The pain is because we're called, we cannot even be partners, co-owner.
01:23 >> Yes.
01:24 >> If we're talking about property.
01:25 I find it cruel.
01:29 >> I remember, Tito Boy, we just got married in the States at that time.
01:32 And as soon as we got back, we applied for a business permit.
01:36 >> Yes.
01:37 >> That's how it feels.
01:38 Because I'm proud that I married my beloved husband.
01:41 >> Right.
01:42 >> And if you have to tick a box, single,
01:45 I find it hard to tick that box.
01:48 >> You feel like crying.
01:49 >> I feel like crying.
01:50 I'm not single.
01:51 I know I have a husband.
01:52 Why do I have to tick a single?
01:54 And for other people, I just realized that heterosexual couples are so lucky.
02:02 Sometimes they even take it for granted.
02:05 They tick the box, married, just automatic.
02:08 But for people like us, who don't have that right, it means so much.
02:13 >> Sobra.
02:14 >> Yes.
02:15 >> We have to start somewhere.
02:16 I'm sorry, but it makes me very, very emotional.
02:21 We've been together for decades.
02:25 >> Yes, how many years?
02:26 >> Oh my God, older than you.
02:28 >> I'm sure.
02:29 >> No, because you're almost my age.
02:32 >> I'm 40.
02:33 >> Yeah.
02:34 >> Wow.
02:35 >> We've been together that long.
02:36 >> Wow.
02:37 >> We've been together that long.
02:38 It's just sad because even in the hospital, for example,
02:41 the doctor can't ask you if you want to resuscitate or not.
02:46 >> Yeah, it's already a DLR.
02:47 >> You do not have that right.
02:49 >> I think that's the scariest thing for me.
02:51 >> Inheritance, you don't have that.
02:53 We don't have that personality because you go to the next of kin in the family.
02:58 This is just a conversation, but Bahagia, we need a lot of time to be able to discuss this.
03:03 But I go back to the fact that our love is equal to all kinds of love.
03:09 >> Oh yes.
03:10 >> That's the only thing that's good about it.
03:12 >> It's the same love, the same dreams, the same fears.
03:15 >> All of it.
03:16 >> It's all the same.
03:17 >> It's just that the story is different, but we will keep on discussing this.
03:21 And I hope that we can elevate the conversation into this kind of conversation.
03:25 >> Yes.
03:26 >> That we have the same rights, our birthright.
