Egad. Asw my mother said, many years ago, people who worry about homosexuality spend too much time thinking about what other people do in private.
For those who deny the existence of committed, monogamous, same-sex couples; how many same-sex couples do you know?
Within the past year I have attended one commitment ceremony of two women, rejoiced as another planned their ceremony, and rejoiced with a friend who has met someone with whom he can share his life. In thise community there is also a couple who moved to Europe after many years together, and several more who decided they had to leave the small town where too many people do spend a lot of time thinking about other's private lives.
There is a friend who delights to spend time with his daughter and her two mothers. All of these people are healthy, contributing members of society whose lives are very like mine in almost every way except the one.
And too tell you the truth, I really don't want to know too much about what my hetero friends do in private, either.
Now, since this is a folk music thread, does anyone know of any songs -- traditional -- about this?
