People frustrate me so much that I can't even say anything more to this post other than, i love you. <BR/><BR/>--mariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399035719528796062.post-29697975366970045442008-07-09T13:30:00.000-05:002008-07-09T13:30:00.000-05:00obviously my opinion on this matter is the same as...obviously my opinion on this matter is the same as yours...i hate how people use the lack of male/female figure (depending on the situation) in a child's life - my brother had few male role models in his life (my uncles were not really there after my father died), and he's now one of the most caring & sweetest men i know. do i worry about what might others might say to our (hypothetical) children? of course, but that's why i plan on living some place where my kids won't be the only kids of same-sex parents. also, in my sociology class we talked about how same sex relationships tend to be more equal as far as division of household chores and whatnot, since there's not that traditional men as breadwinners mentality - something i think is an important mentality to break.<BR/>a couple of years ago i was talking to some conservative friends about this (before they...or i...knew that i'd be raising kids with another woman) and they both told me that they would not support me if i were to raise children in a same sex marriage - which really struck me because here i am, a very good friend of theirs, and they wouldn't support me? that really upset me - to this day i really don't understand their reasoning and how these two very intelligent people can honestly believe that two people in a loving relationship, regardless of their gender, are bad parents simply because they are in a same sex relationship.<BR/>anyway, that was long.lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469089424457495743noreply@blogger.com
