Twashyingiwe Duhumeka

Sinigeze ntekereza ko nzagera ku isi itwemera, aho urukundo rwacu rushobora kuba rwujuje amategeko, rukubahirizwa, rugashimwa kimwe n’urw’abandi bose. Mbere y’icyemezo cya Obergefell v. Hodges, urukundo rwacu rwabaga mu gicucu cy’amategeko – umubano wacu ntiwafatwaga nk’ufite agaciro imbere y’igihugu.

Igihe icyo cyemezo cyasohokaga, byari nko guhumeka nyuma y’imyaka myinshi turi mu gihirahiro. Twarashyingiwe atari uko dukeneye ko abandi batwemera, ahubwo kuko byari uburenganzira bwacu – kandi mu buryo bworoheje, twahawe ishema no gufatwa nk’abandi.

Mu mibereho isanzwe, byahinduye byinshi: uburenganzira ku mavuriro, imisoro, ubwishingizi, no kwakirwa mu miryango. Ariko ku mutima, byakoze ibirenzeho: twaretse kurwana ishyaka ngo urukundo rwacu rwemerwe – twatangiye kurubaho uko ruri.

Hashize imyaka icumi, icyantungura kurushaho ni uburyo ubu bimeze nk’ibisanzwe: kuvuga “umugore wanjye” ntacyo wihishahisha, kubazwa iby’ubukwe bwacu nk’uko babaza abandi bose. Iryo twumvikanamo nk’abantu bari mu muryango nyawo, ryabaye ibisanzwe.

Icyemezo si ugushyingirwa gusa cyaduhaye. Cyaduhaye uburenganzira bwo kurota tutisobanura.
