Comments on: NYT’s LGBT Family Blowout http://www.mombian.com/2009/11/07/nyts-lgbt-family-blowout/ Sustenance for Lesbian Moms Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:47:51 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Christine http://www.mombian.com/2009/11/07/nyts-lgbt-family-blowout/comment-page-1/#comment-93652 Christine Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:10:30 +0000 http://www.mombian.com/?p=6114#comment-93652 I think to rid that argument, "what's best for the children", once and for all, more and more children will need to speak up. Reach out to the people they meet and also make a connection with their lawmakers. I know it may be hard to believe for the ultra-right, but I survived my childhood unscathed. Unscathed by my parents, that is. And I'd wager a guess that most of my peers that were raised in the LGBT community would say the same. When I hear the arguments the religious-right make, it very much reminds me of the man behind the curtain. Nothing more than a fairytale, Ala Grimm. You know what the scariest thing is? That some people actually believe the falsehoods. I think to rid that argument, “what’s best for the children”, once and for all, more and more children will need to speak up.

When those who oppose gay marriage site how it is harmful to children--I always wonder why my kids are invisible to them. They are not invisible--they are beautiful. My Post which followed Prop H8 was titled: Protect Our Marriage, Protect Our Children That is always my defense–what about our kids? When those who oppose gay marriage site how it is harmful to children–I always wonder why my kids are invisible to them.

They are not invisible–they are beautiful.
