He did a wonderful job.  Probably 1/5 of the children that attend my church are from same sex parented homes.  Their families are no different than any other family that attends.  I wish people realized that the most important thing is that a family is about love not the sex of the parents.

Yeah, this is going around FB--even from people I wouldn't have expected to post it.  I've been seeing more of that--straight friends posting things about gay bullying, marriage rights, etc.  I've been surprised.  Thanks for posting here, so others could see.

We were standing all alone
You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time

What a strong, confident and well spoken young man!

IMO his mums should be role models for parents :-)
