Right wingers have a way of putting their heads in the sand and wishing everything away....

Damn if only that would work....I know what I would wish for.....lol
Howdy Blue Cat,

I'll talk about the effects of having 2 mommies or 2 daddies,if ya want..we can bring this subject up alot,if you wish. I have no doubt,that most folks,whether they're gay or straight,love their children and would not want them to be unhappy. When I watched the episode of Trading Spouses,with the lesbian parents,it was obvious,that they loved their children and the children were happy..however,both I and the Christian mom,were concerned that one of the lesbians,was exposing the children to adult situations,that they should not have exposed them to,without rigid guidelines and strict monitoring.

I'm willing to concede to civil unions,but not marriage..even though,I know that by doing so,we've stepped onto a slippery slope of allowing civil unions for all sorts of blasphemous unions..like bestial,pedophilic or incestous unions.

BTW,in the end,I was ashamed of the actions and words,of the Christian mother and I disagree with her trying to humilate and demean,the lesbian couple..in order to make any progress on this difficult issue..we must have a basic repect for each other..don't ya think so ?

Have a good one !
