God bless you.<BR/><BR/>Jen-I hope you keep the personal side to your blog. Lipstick and sunblock are fun, but I like hearing about you too.<BR/><BR/>Elastic-Yeah.<BR/><BR/>Ray-Thanks for stopping by.

I think I've reached a consensus with myself though that I'm all for civil unions and gay rights just not full out gay marriage. I have reasons, but you know, that would take a while to type it all out and I'm lazy.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-67939993126011139272008-06-23T17:47:00.000-07:002008-06-23T17:47:00.000-07:00I knew I liked you the moment I read this post.I r...I knew I liked you the moment I read this post.<BR/><BR/>I recently read a very compelling editorial called, "Gay Marriage is Good for America," written by Jonathan Rauch. The link to the article is: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121400362307993399.htmlJen Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330865463813652213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-68963480683496111162008-06-22T08:48:00.000-07:002008-06-22T08:48:00.000-07:00It's a tough issue, for sure, and it breaches the ...It's a tough issue, for sure, and it breaches the separation of church and state boundaries, as well. <BR/><BR/>I'm a member of the Church (active) who experiences SSA, but who is also in a heterosexual marriage (I know--lots of weird conflicts in just one sentence). I completely understand the yearnings of people like me to be married to a person toward whom they feel attraction. <BR/><BR/>I also understand the right of every child to be raised in a home with parents of both genders (even though more than half the children raised today do not have access to both parents on a daily basis because of divorce). And I believe the statements made in the Proclamation on the family to be true. <BR/><BR/>I also believe that same-sex marriage will become legal, despite efforts by churches to stop it. So perhaps the <I>only</I> sane tactic in this particular dilemma is the one you've taken. <BR/><BR/>I will say that I won't be doing anything to support either side. It causes to much conflict. I have enough of that already.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216416424593449924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-15560744841460929502008-06-21T22:08:00.000-07:002008-06-21T22:08:00.000-07:00Issue with what?
