I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday . I am the girl kicked out of her home because I…

bat-out-of-hell:
That’s like saying, “I love black people, but I don’t support their skin color. Why can’t they just bleach their skin? My religion tells me that dark skin is a sin, so it must be okay to dislike dark skin.” - That sounded really racist and horrible didn’t it?

Prop 8: too soon to celebrate too much →
gaywrites:

For one thing, the case will almost certainly be appealed, but it’s not certain whether the Supreme Court will grant review. Even if it does, the vote will very likely be divided and could come down to...

Remember Stacey Campfield, the Tennessee state senator who claims it’s impossible to get HIV/AIDS from heterosexual sex? A restaurant in his home state remembers too.
