Effects of gay parents

This is a GREAT video!
This young man makes a fantastic statement to the Iowa legislature...
I was raised by gay parents, and I'm a better person because of it...
Bravo!

Ad for gay marriage

The commercial above is from the Get Up! group in Australia.
It is a beautiful ad for marriage equality...yes, it made me a little teary!

I agree with one of the comments made on the video...they should play this, exactly as it is, during the Super Bowl.

Salvation Army does not support equality

"Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex.  The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life.  There is no scriptural support for same-sex unions as equal to, or as an alternative to, heterosexual marriage."


When will people realize that the bible was written by a group of MEN, who were bishops at the time.  
The Council of Nicea met in 325 AD (300 years after Jesus' death), this council was called by the Emperor Constantine.  
These men chose which writings from Jesus' followers would be used in the bible (several were thrown out, because they did not portray Jesus as "divine" enough), and they also picked the dates for all the religious holidays.  
Just think about it, 325 AD, a group of middle-aged men, of course the Bible is going to be conservative by today's standards.  People just need to stop hiding behind the Bible...it has alot of good in it, but it is not the law of the world.

Here is my suggestion...If you are looking to support an organization, don't drop your change in those annoying bell-ringers with the red buckets, and don't donate anything to their thrift stores.  
Find an organization that truly supports equality and non-discrimination.
The YMCA does a great deal of good work, and they welcome everyone.  But, check your local YMCA...as they can differ on levels of acceptance.
The United Way and the red Cross are also a good alternative...
but, if you support equality and acceptance, avoid the Salvation Army at all costs!

DOMA: bad for business

Seventy major US corporations issued a brief to the US Courts, claiming that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is harmful to commerce.

DOMA bad for business

There are some major heavy-hitters on the list.  While they may not truly support homosexuality or gay marriage, I'm glad they at least realize that they are hurting their bottom-line by singling out GLBTQ folks.

We all have money to spend...hail the almighty dollar!

Gay vs Kardashian Marriage?

I think this picture says it all!

I realize that not everyone had the same sort of upbringing as I did.  But, I still believe that everyone deserves the same rights.

My grandmother always taught me "what's good for the goose, is good for the gander"...meaning if my sister can't have it, neither can I.

I think this falls along the same lines.  
It's true, either of the folks in couple #2 could go out tomorrow and get married...and make a mint on it by making a documentary TV special.

But, couple #1 can't even place an announcement in the local paper??

I know I'm going to sound like my grandfather, but I don't care...
What the hell has the world come to!!
