Being Mormon, most of you know my stance on Gays...and for me it's a hard one to swallow.  While I believe man and woman only, I also believe that there are hardships we know nothing about and only the Lord understands. 
And although, sometimes I get a little "ooked" at seeing gays make-out, I see them hold hands or the way they look at each other. I know that look, I look at my husband that way.  I know that they really do love each other.  It's very sweet to see.

So, my thoughts on this is loving they neighbor above all others commandments.  Pretty much if your a good person, I don't care what skin color you are, what beliefs are, whom you love.  If you ask me, I'll tell you my thoughts...but I won't push them on you and I won't say you're going to "hell" for it, that's sooooo not my call.

Anyhoo....back to the original thought.

I work at a hotel, and I was checking in a man, probably in his mid thirties.  He asked me if the room had a bath tub, I said no.  He got worried, saying he NEEDS a bath tub for his child.  I asked how old, he said 15 moths.  I said the sinks are pretty big, so you could get away with doing a sponge bath in the sink.  He said no it wouldn't do, b/c they'd been hiking and she was really dirty. 

I told him the best thing to do, b/c all parents have been in that situation at one point or another is to make sure you have a REALLY thick towel on the bottom of the shower and get in with her, and avert the water.  I noticed him look back at the lobby, and there were only two people there, a man cuddling a beautiful, ringlet endowed black girl.  I looked down at the man's hand and saw that his ring was on his right hand.

I asked him, "I hope this doesn't sound personal, but is that your partner and baby?"

He smiled and said yes.

I said that she was absolutely beautiful and I was so touched to see how the two men loved and cared for her, I know they are good parents. (I'm tearing up again as I type this)

I asked how easy it was to adopt.  He say being they live in California, not hard at all.

I told him that it was wonderful to see people loving someone who couldn't be loved.  And I told him that my religion doesn't agree with it, but I have a  personal problem with that, b/c I've seen hetero marriages were they beat the hell out of their kids...and it's just not right.  He smiled and said, "that's okay, we're Methodists, she was baptised in our church!"  It made me smile more.

I think people are really afraid that gay people raising kids are going to raise more gays...opposite, they are going to raise more tolerant kids that are able to love whom ever they want and there parents will be okay with it, b/c they already know. 

Clear as mud?!
