I for one, am glad to be living in a society that is more tolerant, especially when it comes to this topic. My daughter will be standing up for her cousin during his wedding ceremony in August to his fiancée and I could not be any prouder. She is very open-minded, loving, and caring and is very excited to be a part of his special day.

You should be very proud that you raised a daughter who is tolerant. Hopefully, all parents will. The few left who cast judgment will soon find themselves in the minority leading to a kinder, gentler nation.


SoftRaindrops,

Beautifully stated. You are so right. I am so proud my family supports marriage equality. We have family/friends who are in long term committed relationships and participated in commitment ceremonies years ago. Once they were given the opportunity to marry, they did. They are now married and starting to expand their families. Smiley Happy

Hi Donna!

We, too have many friends and family that support marriage equality.

My grandson is the product of such a relationship and he is my light and joy....{#emotions_dlg.wub}

Thank you for your kind words. I truly hope our future will be to allow those in same s#x relationships the ability to live without hate and scrutiny.

We all know there are numerous people against gay marriage on religious grounds. So be it.

Marriage in America is a contract with the government, no religion is necessary.

Exactly, Noel. Smiley Happy
I don't care if houses of worship choose to perform/acknowledge marriages to sscouples.... as long as the government moves forward and in the direction of equal marriage.
