- He is right, in a way... the rights to marry and the tax benefits of a
- family (in some cases) were originally setup by the government to
- promote the State's (ie. Big Brother's) ideals. Times have changed
- and people have been educated and informed... even most churches now
- agree that the homosexual union can be just as loving and caring as a
- heterosexual one. It's time that our government put its pen to work
- were it's mouth has been and start promoting all families instead of
- the "traditional" ones.
-
- Have you discussed this with him further? Maybe you should show him
- OUR family calender (available from SHocking Gray as well as many fine
- charities and community groups around the country).
