I've been reading a lot of things about this in the last 24 hours. Some of it so ludicrous it's almost laughable. One was an observation that gay couples will be raising legions of gay kids. Uh, ok, cuz straight couples never had gay kids. DUH. And a younger man I know who just got married was freaking out that it's a GOOD THING he got married "before all this". Dude. You're still gonna be married. How is your life ANY DIFFERENT than it was before....holy hell. So, I'm proud of my home state. And people can call it progressive all they want to, but I just think it's common sense. That's what we do best here, mind our own business and try to play fair (well, many of us do....there's always the whackjobs that have to make life difficult!) <abbr><em>Sunshines last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/Giwc/~3/UEHWfWjVBb4/its-illegalso-it-must-be-really-awesome.html" rel="nofollow">It's Illegal...So It Must Be Really Awesome</a></em></abbr> I’m proud too.
