Thank you brother! And welcome. Especially for us parents of younger kids (how old is Gracie?), it’s so tremendous to see all these nonchalant, self-respecting, utterly ordinary kids clearly making it through their youth with flying colors. Even if the colors flying at home are rainbow.

And YEGODS ALL MANNER OF POWER TO YOU FOLKS ON AMENDMENT 2. I think about your battle a lot, and wonder how you folks are faring. Let’s all hope that November 5 is a sunny morning from sea to shining sea.

New commenter here. Just sent the vid link to our HIV+ breakfast group… about 40+ members. Most are here in Florida, but we have our Amendment 2 to worry about.

And yes, I did get weepy! !!!

Thank you kateinchicago! Hey, and forward them that link to what Non-Californians can do about Prop 8, since it sure do seem to affect us all:

http://noonprop8.com/news/articles?id=0159

That’s the page.

Together we can! And I personally extremely hope that the positive effects spread as far and wide and as fast as they are prophesied to spread, should Prop 8 be defeated. “Gay-hatin’ just ain’t what it used to be? Who can we pick on next? I know! Investment bankers!”

PS Thank you for reading! I promise, I write about other stuff than just this one Proposition. It’s a special season.

That was a fantastic video. I’ve forwarded it to all my friends. I live in the Midwest, but am working to support the No on Proposition 8 Campaign. Thanks for the excellent resources!

I’m new to your blog, but so glad I found it. Your family is absolutely beautiful.

I know I’m a weeper… and we’re getting married soon, and TTC, so all the kids with the gay parents…*sob*
I’ve been lurking for a while and I just wanted to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your blog. And I know it pissed the pro-prop hate people off, but isn’t the wording awesome? “Eliminates the right”. I loved Jerry Brown when I was too young to really know much about him; in 1981 he was governor and signed our adoption papers for my baby brother, and he congratulated me, and I was 8, and we were a family of Democrats, and this is a run-on sentence, but I’ve always thought he was a cool guy. This seals it for me… I know that we still have work to do to get it passed, but I feel good! I love my bride-to-be, and I’m pretty sure we’re not destined to be married for only 5 days!
Anyhow, thank you, and thank you for sharing your beautiful family with all of us readers out here!
