additionally, I would also like to say that both my partner and I wish our son grow to be heterosexual. We would never want him to have to deal with the same issues that we have. We have lost jobs, been denied medical care, etc. Acceptance is what we should be teaching!
no legal terms or religious ones... I believe that a child raised is a loving home of one parent, two parents, grandparents, same sex or not, is far more important a point. Children everyday are being raised in homes that are abusive and neglecting. I believe that a child requires love and understanding. Not to ever feel unwanted or be subjected to a parent or parents, same sex or not that argue and drink too much and have wrong priorities. I have been in a commited relationship, and yes in love, with my partner for 9 years. We, with medical assistance, just had a baby a year ago. We both have good jobs and we own our own home. We are good upstanding members of society and for the comments that I have read above are HIV NEGATIVE. We, as well as both of our families, provide a very loving environment for our son that has both male and female influences. It again is my belief that our son, while he will have to over come challenges because he has 2 mommies, has the upper hand on a lot of todays youths. He has 2 constant and loving parents that put his needs above any others. Do I think that I should be able to marry my partner? Yes I do. I should have the same opportunies as anyone else out there. My partner and I have discussed this matter at great lenght and decided that even if available we would not marry legally. We don't need any paper or "your" approval to be commited. Our families and each other is all we need.
