Faith in California, faith in our future, faith in the people of our generation who choose to vote yes -- all of that is going to wither.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing so passionately.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438217307325812932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-67912967961761370022008-10-23T17:42:00.000-07:002008-10-23T17:42:00.000-07:00I can't even bring myself to read that article rig...I can't even bring myself to read that article right now. I have been thinking about this issue so much for the past few hours that I am almost in tears right now, and I'm afraid that reading that article will send me over the edge. I really can't handle it. <BR/><BR/>I want to vomit when I think about people being opposed to this issue. Honestly. I am sick to my stomach over it. These are basic rights for human beings. Who are we as a people if we take these rights away?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing this. I think it's wonderful what Roy's mom and Cherrie are doing for those kids.Jessica Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382996481558671385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-29204932986064709882008-10-23T09:27:00.000-07:002008-10-23T09:27:00.000-07:00a wonderful post! There are so many different type...a wonderful post! There are so many different types of family and who is to say one type of family is better than another. I don't understand why people care about other people's lives so much. I don't see how who someone marries affects other people's lives. We are individual with the ability to make our own choices, as long as we don't hurt other people who cares if I marry a man or a woman. I just don't understand why people fear things that are different from them. It is selfish and narrow-minded.sherthebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344245153907389401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-35207026433710949352008-10-23T08:21:00.000-07:002008-10-23T08:21:00.000-07:00um, that should read "aren't ever going to forget"...um, that should read "aren't ever going to forget"amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-59629639351622442442008-10-23T08:20:00.000-07:002008-10-23T08:20:00.000-07:00i think your MILs are doing a really wonderful thi...i think your MILs are doing a really wonderful thing by raising their grandkids. it takes a lot for a person to step up to the plate like that and it's something that the kids are going to ever forget.amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-48504757738336112722008-10-23T07:36:00.000-07:002008-10-23T07:36:00.000-07:00ugh i hate that article too. there is nothing mor...ugh i hate that article too. there is nothing more important for a family and for children than love, whether it comes from a single parent, a mother and father, two mothers, two fathers, adopted parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, whatever! <BR/><BR/>i hate how opponents of gay marriage defend 'traditional' marriage as the most pefect union in the world. what about marriages that don't work? marriages break up, people get divorced, marraiges can get abusive, parents fight. marraige is not perfect. as you mentioned in your post, your mother in laws are raising their grandchildren, who are better off NOT being in a sacred, pefect, heterosexual marriage. <BR/><BR/>man, i sort of wish i lived in cali just so i could also vote NO on prop 8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-72001413576797633762008-10-23T05:54:00.000-07:002008-10-23T05:54:00.000-07:00Oh god, Leslie, that article almost made me cry. I...Oh god, Leslie, that article almost made me cry. I left a comment but I don't know if it will be published.<BR/><BR/>It was along the lines of this...<BR/><BR/>I love how bigotry is couched in the guise of "liberal Democrat", as if that somehow excuses it. Any child who is loved is a lucky one. No matter if a child has one parent, two moms, two dads, or a mom and a dad - for all the children who are abandoned, beaten, abused, and forgotten, these children - conversely - are safe and loved. <BR/><BR/>Birthright is just biology. Love is what makes a family.inflammatory writhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923322007776358065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-77644775033599035912008-10-23T05:44:00.000-07:002008-10-23T05:44:00.000-07:00My thoughts exactly when I read the article.Foster...My thoughts exactly when I read the article.<BR/><BR/>Foster parents are hereos, in my eyes. Unfortunately, there are too many kids in need, and not enough families.<BR/><BR/>Going into a separate issue, how many people who vehemently oppose gay couples adopting ever step up to the plate to adopt themselves, or take in foster children? Not many, beacause if they did, there would not be such an overflow of children in the system!<BR/><BR/>What Roy's mom and Cherrie have done is somethhing to be applauded, I consider any opposing views immoral.Angie Eats Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966149953616277141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153231284245300685.post-13349379192629288952008-10-22T21:58:00.000-07:002008-10-22T21:58:00.000-07:00I hate that article.

It is the same damn article everyone cites when asked to provide a non-religious argument for Prop 8.<BR/><BR/>I didn't think it was possible, but this viewpoint could be even more offensive than blind Biblical reference.<BR/><BR/>And I think this "liberal democrat" should be ashamed of himself.weezermonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08023289768556784443noreply@blogger.com
