A while back, I posted a blog about Sally Kern, one peach of a republican, and now, well, here goes John McCain…..

“I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption.”
- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain tells The New York Times

Now, see, I don’t understand why it is anyone’s business what my sexuality is. I don’t think my sexuality has any bearing on my ability to be a parent. And as a child of a gay parent, I don’t think it affected me. Oh, yes, you may say….well, gay mom…gay daughter…..
Folks, I lived with MY DAD….who abundantly was NOT gay!
We live in a time when people say it’s genetic, or it’s nurture vs. nature. We live in a time where we HAVE to put blame SOMEWHERE, just to make it through. It’s necessary that we point out the differences in each other as either character or physical flaws. And we wonder about the decline of civilization.
Then you get some blowhole like McCain up there, talking about shit, just to get the publicity. We have kids being abused, physically, mentally emotionally by their biological parents. By foster parents….by those that the “system” finds ”NORMAL” because there is a man and a woman married in the home.
Except mommy is a drunk and daddy is sticking it to the kids. And if they resist….he beats them. OR the situation is vice versa……
Now, settle down, settle down…..not all nuclear families are like this. I know LOTS of breeder (straight) people that are married, happily with kids. I know they work, they love and the compromise and have wonderful, full, radiant lives. I look up to these families that make it work. It’s a wonderous thing.
I also know families that aren’t traditional. They have two mommies. Or two daddies. And they too are wonderful, full and radiant. They are just as committed to the children and each other as the breeders are, they just have one difference.
They love each other differently BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
I am a mommy in a gay relationship. My kids have two mommies. They have two mommies that love them, adore them, teach them respect and honor. They have two mommies that go to EVERY basketball, softball, Tae Kwon Do, and soon to be football game they play in. They have two mommies involved with PTA and the carpool at school. They have two mommies that the teachers and principals know by sight, because they make sure they know the teachers and the principals. They have two mommies who will work crazy hours to get these the clothes they want, to ensure they have food on their plates, a roof over their head and all the peace and comfort they can handle.
My kids had a nuclear family. The mommy and daddy….’cept daddy drinks. ALOT. And mommy decided that it was much more hazardous to have the kids around daddy, riding in a car with daddy or being left in the care of daddy. And I can say this as my daughter hobbled on a broken ankle for TWO DAYS because daddy didn’t want to leave the lake….and oh, I can go on….trust that….
This mommy met the Whirly Girl and became fast friends. We got along like two peas in a pod….until this mommy decidedly began to have “other” feelings for her friend. So sue me. I wasn’t born gay, I wasn’t raised gay….but here I am. If being with her makes me gay, then so be it.
So, we get back to gay people, kids and dillweed’s retarded comment.
Not all kids are lucky to be born into a home of love and happiness. Some are born addicted. Some are born disabled. Some are born and thrown away with the garbage. These kids, do they not deserve two parents that love THEM, regardless of how they love each other? Do these kids deserve to have at minimum ONE parent to love them?
We hear stories all the time of the abuse in foster homes, group homes, how kids are homeless, abused or forgotten….and because Chuck and Bob do the damn thing in their bedroom with a door closed, they can’t love these kids?
I think you should personally go to every group home, every overworked, overextended foster care agency and look at every worker, every child there and tell them, “Don’t let them go with the gays. They are not good role models or parents. You should STAY in foster care/group home/homeless/or abused. It’s MUCH better for you because there is a mommy and a daddy, not daddy and a daddy.” See how well that goes over….
Mr. McCain, you represent the type of Republican that I cannot get behind. I thought you were smarter than that….wow, underwhelmed doesn’t begin to touch the well, does it?
See, I am a gay woman. I am a mother. I am a damn good partner and a fantastic mother. I have never been to rehab or do I have anger management issues.
Can you say the same?
I am open minded, unconditionally a friend, mother, sister and daughter. And am now fully and proudly, never to look back, in a Democratic state of mind. I don’t think you and ol’ Sally Kern will ever get it together….
YOU DON’T ALIENATE YOUR CONSITUTES IN AN ELECTION YEAR Boy Wonder…..smooth move.
My God, my faith, doesn’t allow for these judgements. I am suprised at your “Christian” faith allowing you to do the same. But I bet every queer, fag, lesbian and gay boy out there forgives you. You can’t undo ignorance of this magnitude. THIS is genetic…..
If you want, go here http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/13/us/politics/13mccain.html and read the whole article….I am sure I am overreacting, but it’s my blog and I can overreact if I want to…
