I really resent the rhetorical tone of this article, as well as the
assumption that every single time some lawmakers try to pick up the
slack left by the deterioration of the traditional family they are
"attacking the family." Most children (in case you don't live in the
real world) don't even have a family, or parents who even feed them
breakfast in the morning, let alone who teach them morals. Some of
these fundamentalist LDS seem to think that if only they could impose
their values on everyone, all the world's evils would instantly be
solved. Got an announcement: that was Satan's plan too.
I was just getting quite ticked at Governor Davis for his bungling of
California's energy crisis, but you can bet he is going to get a call
from me now-- in SUPPORT of every one of these bills. I'm going back
into his corner, where I'm going to stay (allegorically) until the
Affirmation people or the PFLAG people, or whoever it may be drag me out to go support their cause in the next and nearest available Gay
Pride Parade, where on one side I will hold the hand of my gay brother
while with the other hand I will wave my temple recommend and a large
poster of my high school students, who unfortunately know more about sex,drugs, parental abdication of responsibility, and every other
societal evil than I ever hoped to know.
