[...] In Support Of Gay Rights: A Message To Mamas – We need to stop the bigotry and intolerance against the LGBT community and I’m asking moms to step up. Why? Because not only is it the right thing to do, but it might be one of our kids that will need equal rights, protection, and acceptance. [...]

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the first laws allowing “civil union” were enacted and we’re still very much in need of these conversations. Another point often brought up is that gay marriage is detrimental to straight marriage. Umm, first off in what way is that possible? Second, how many unmarried gay couples have been waiting for this day for longer than some straight married couples have even known each other? I wonder what the divorce rates are for gay couple married in 2000 compared with straight couples married the same year?

Such a beautiful post! I pray to see the day when gay marriage is legalized everywhere! I hope that it is soon!

“I hope and pray that as a global society we keep pushing forwards and stop making laws based on dated arguments and personal prejudice.”

This is a beautifully stated comment. Wonderfully said and so true.

Thanks so much for your input and for your lovely compliment. I truly appreciate it.

You always write such strong posts, telling it how it is without beating anybody over the head with your argument.

As a black woman, the whole issue of equality is upfront and yet it doesn’t matter what your background or what your forebears had to fight for – so many people still find it in themselves to sit in judgement on others. I hope and pray that as a global society we keep pushing forwards and stop making laws based on dated arguments and personal prejudice.

Two of our good friends will be getting married in Paris this year and hopefully we will be there to celebrate with them. Did I mention whether they were gay, bi or straight? It’s none of your business!

Such a well written article. I consider myself an avid human rights activist and as such, I am so glad that I found this article. Not many of them around in the bloggysphere.

It is so sad that we, as human beings, cannot see beyond our own ignorance, and accept other people without judgements and repect their rights just as we are expecting other people to respect our rights without any reservations.

I did hear about this! What a sad situation. It makes me think of a time when interracial couples had to fight for the same thing. Let’s hope their fight will make a positive difference within their community and elsewhere.
