marriage amendment......

ok, so on my way home from work........political signs have sprung up.......the ones that have an outline of a man+woman=family......like that is the only way that a family springs.......either on the way up or the way down.......sadly......i know fewer and fewer of this sort of family........certainly that is a reality that cannot be legislated........requiring single mothers to marry in order to obtain benefit?.......how can that be desirable......or eliminating the kind folks who agree to adopt all of these children that the republican right claims to be available.......are these folks somehow second class because they are not a male/female combo........the folks who tend to want to adopt otherwise unadoptable children tend to not be traditional families........folks like us do not usually adopt......and we would not have sought out adoption, if the opportunity had not sought us out.......no, folks like us birth their desired number of children, and then they put themselves surgically out of the gene pool...........any coupling of people who desire to commit to each other, and raise otherwise unadoptable children....well...they have my blessing........
