Very interesting piece about this issue. http://archive.newsmax.com/arc...004/2/25/93416.shtml

This is one part where I totally agree with Tammy Bruce:

Gays ultimately need to stop looking to government for unconditional love and approval of who we are. Andrew Sullivan, a political commentator and writer many of you know and respect, wrote a piece for Time magazine where he actually equated governmental recognition of gay marriage as a necessary element to all gay people feeling accepted and wanted. He claimed that anything other than marriage will “build a wall between gay people and their own families.”

While his story was personal and moving, the argument was, frankly, nonsense, and representative of the general mentality among the gay elite. It also gives the government and other people’s opinions far too much power over the quality of our lives and effectively eliminates our own responsibility for our happiness.

Part of the fight for gay marriage is based in Sullivan’s lament—that it is only governmental recognition of who are that will make us whole. Let’s get real—the only thing that will make gay people whole is personal acceptance of ourselves by ourselves. Instead, we are still looking to Mommy or Daddy, now in the form of Society, to tell us we’re Okay. To sanctify, if you will, our lives and relationships.

It was written in 2004, but what Tammy says makes a lot of sense to me. Please read the full article to get the full context of what she is saying.

It's religious acceptance, where mariage is concerned civil unions.. are delegated.. poop...and everyone IS responsible for their own happiness.. here where we're SUPPOSEDLY free to pursue it....

All straight people get divorced right now, then lets see the big stink.

Good read. Thanks Q.

She is gay if I am not mistaken and I think she made some good points. This issue is not going to be solved anytime soon and maybe the gay communtiy should rethink their strategy and come up with a different way to get same sex rights passed into laws.

Thanks for posting this Q.

Yes, Deb she is gay. You can check out her website here: http://www.tammybruce.com/. Check it out sometime.
