Subject: RE: BS: Californians Oppose 'Prop 8' Gay Marriage Ban
My name is Kat and I am the proud mother of three children, all raised in an atmosphere of respect and love, assured of their mother's and father's love and acceptance no matter their choices in life and yes, they were "exposed" to plenty of different kinds of lifestyles, including homosexual, probably by way of where we lived, more so than the average American kid would ever be aware of...they are all three heterosexual which, as far as I am concerned, is how they were born. They certainly knew if they had been born homosexual, they would have received the same love and support from us as not. I can say the same for the rest of my family, too. It is absurd and wrong to set conditions on one's love for their children. That kind of "what if," suggesting a different kind of parental love for children who "decide" they are homosexual, can cause more hurt, sadness, and despair in this old world than any loving les/bi/gay couple.
