I really believe that if you are raised with love by humans that love each other, it doesn’t totally screw you up… Love is love no matter who is involved in it. The only damage done is the confusion when others don’t accept your situation and do pass judgment.
I am really impressed with your post.
we are only on this planet for such a short time. We all have the right to love and be loved and to marry the person who makes us happy.

I totally support family, and not passing judgement

I appreciate your honesty and how you love your mom makes me smile.

I am not in California, but I will pass along this post to my friends who do live there.

Hey Patrick! I’m glad you stopped by. I’m in high gear too. In fact, I ended up having to leave the discussion because I was starting to get mean, which is unlike me.

I admire your balls for posting a comment on my site, and for engaging me throughout the conversation rather than blocking me. I tip my hat to you sir.

By the way, I am a very nice person.

Take care and realize elections are a couple days away and it’s very intense here. I have no hard feelings and hope you understand I am just in high gear.

Very wise Julie. I heart that quotation so much I put in in my tumblog. I love reading what you have to say, because I always know I’ll hear something “fresh,” not just the usual back and forth that exists about whatever the topic is.

And as for Hulu, I do own a TV, but I still watch the vast majority of my Daily Show on Hulu!

It made sense! And I’m glad you stopped by. Patriotism is a hard thing to pin down, but I think you have the right idea. I worry more about people who will do anything in order to avoid their patriotism being put in question.

If any of the above doesn’t make sense, I apologise, I just started writing and it all came out!

I get sick of all the bigotry and judgment passed by supposedly “Christian” folk. I believe in God. I attend Church. I read the Bible (sometimes). I choose not to judge those around me, because I believe it is something that we are told specifically not to do … I also choose not to be called a Christian, but instead a follower of Christ.

My vote was already secure, but your post made me smile and think “that’s right. I’m doing the right thing here.”

**hugs**

I wish to point out the subtle inconsistencies in your statement. Defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman IS subversive of a right. The right to declare to the world one’s love for another, and one’s wish to spend as much of his or her life with that other person. Marriage should be defined as a union between two consenting adults, nothing more.

And if the conservative right wants to challenge the notion that marriage is about providing a mother and a father to children, two things need to be addressed: If marriage is about children, then infertile couples should not be allowed marriage, either; and: If marriage is about providing a mother and a father, then divorce should not be legal, AND mothers or fathers should not be allowed to enlist during wartime.

Proposition is about banning something that is hardly understood, and unable to be controlled.

The Constitution states that no rights shall be obstructed or denied by an act of Congress. Rights were meant to be given, not taken away.

I meant to call/left the money on the bed side table/was arrested.

Please believe me when I say;
He/she/they/it meant nothing to me/I think of you all the time*

I’m sorry I left without explaining the situation but;
I had a wedding/wake/boardroom meeting/choicer piece of ass/mass/life* to attend to.

I’m linking to this post in my blog. This is awesome.

it never ceases to amaze me that we are still considering legally sanctioned discrimination against a segment of our society. during the days of slavery, marriage was not legally permitted amongst slaves because they were not people, they were property, and marriage was a contract between people. to deny a select group of people the right to marry is to classify them as lesser human beings. the concept of allowing “civil unions” with a limited subset of the legal privileges granted married couples (all the while insisting this is just as good as the real thing) reminds me of the “separate but equal” doctrine that we got rid of with Brown v. Board of Education, where the Supreme Court ruled “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal”. well, civil unions are also inherently unequal.

i might have to keep ranting about this. it makes me angry, just the thought of it.

It’s ok, ape. I know how you get distracted when there’s a big, swinging dick in the room.

He’s kind of an asshole that way, don’t you think? I mean, just because a guy’s got a big dick doesn’t mean he’s got to walk around swinging it in everyone’s face.

Shit. I got sidetracked. And this was such a great article.

Sorry, Calinazaret.

There is a good conversation going on over there and you spoke my point much better that I could.

Thanks
