My voice has no impact no influence and no outlet as I am drowned out by the vast sea of lemmings who have no clue as to what the future holds for them.<br /><br />Outcast like gay parents listen, comprehend and act on my iterations of truth speak. The "normal" ones look at me like a deer in headlights.<br /><br />BTW: I have officially changed middle class to muddle class.<br /><br />Because that's all that is left for us, is to just muddle trough and hope that luck favors the prepared.I'm Not POTUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885542838234710249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-35875388015574509872011-06-17T13:44:54.541-05:002011-06-17T13:44:54.541-05:00There are only 5 states plus D.C. that allow gay m...There are only 5 states plus D.C. that allow gay marriage. My partner and I can't get legally married here in Pennsylvania, so if we adopt a child, we are still considered "non-family unit" no matter how big a party we threw for our wedding. <br /><br />This applies the gay populations in the 45 states that don't allow gay marriage. So a lot of those gay couples raising children don't get counted properly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270873072287048758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-33508166838975732652011-06-17T13:30:07.638-05:002011-06-17T13:30:07.638-05:00Actually, Drewbert, if we allowed gays to marry an...Actually, Drewbert, if we allowed gays to marry and such couples adopt (or otherwise get) a child, then they would fall into the Census Bureau's "married with children" category - and it was Census Bureau data (and their definition, not Ms Gallagher's) that was being quoted. <br /><br />I'm all for same-sex couples raising children - they obviously <i> wanted </i> the child rather than getting one by default.<br /><br />And - given my loathing of what our burgeoning population is doing to the earth - the more childless households, the better, no matter what combination of sexes or sexlessnesses they are made of.<br /><br />But it was the data that I found interesting - the God comment was supposed to be ironic.Charles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-60494767015264761362011-06-17T12:55:45.093-05:002011-06-17T12:55:45.093-05:00I regret that I didn't look at the whole link ...I regret that I didn't look at the whole link before commenting on "Cutting Back". Maggie Gallagher is a hypocritical blowhard who herself had a child out of wedlock. <br /><br />She says: "Having fewer married couples raising children and more single and <b>non-family units</b> raising children will impact U.S. policy"<br /><br />See that bolded part there? Those are people that Maggie doesn't want to count as <i>family</i><br /><br />If my partner and I decide to adopt a child after we get married, we won't count towards Maggie's total because we are "icky".<br /><br />CKM - if you see articles quoting Maggie Gallagher, take them with huge grains of salt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08270873072287048758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-86633426579486165762011-06-17T12:12:56.210-05:002011-06-17T12:12:56.210-05:00I followed the "Cutting Back" link and w...I followed the "Cutting Back" link and was initially interested and then very surprised at the nature of the article and who it was quoting.
