The Big Gay Marrige Debate Merged!!!! PART ONE

what are the other three countries? yay, the gov't finally did something good for a change

 

Spain and Netherlands? and Belgium? I think

 

cool

 

I think Spain decided the same recently as well.

 

With any luck, this will put some pressure on other countries (are you listening, United States of America?) to do likewise.

 

I am sure you all have heard of this nonsense. It is basically just homophobes trying to get discrimination written INTO the Constitution. Rick Santorum and Bill Frist are at the forefront of this bs. It is thinly veiled as having fathers more involved with their children, etc.

This isn't about marriage. It is about basic American rights. The glbt community pays taxes, votes, cares about issues- but is being treated like a group of sub-humans. It seems these politicians would rather have kids grow up in an abusive woman/man household than have them adopted by a loving g/l/b/t couple. I cannot see how anyone says this is NOT discrimination.

How can we get the message out? How do you feel about this issue?

 

Thank U 4 the info and the link. Very informative. I use 2 live in West Palm Beach Fl. and the laws 4 non-str8s suck. I moved back 2 the state where I grew up in ;(Pa. )at least here we can be foster parents and adopt kids. As long as u can open ur heart and give a kid a home, it should not matter if the peeps there r str8s or gay/lez. Here at least, If u r willing, 2 share ur heart and ur home, there are plenty of children who need us.

 

I am really surprised more people in the Gay Forum haven't commented on it. Maybe it is old news in the Gay Community. I know they (Republican Religious "Right") have been at it for some time, I think it is just recently being more aggresively approached....

 

Obviously, I oppose this.


However, I don't think there is much I can do. I don't vote for too many republicans, and the ones I do are moderate on gay issues. We don't really have much say as to what goes on in D.C.. Just have to wait it out, and vote for politicians that represent my beliefs...
