Gay Marriage
In May of this year, the fine people of California voted to essentially BAN gay marriages. The website www.protectmarriage.com implies, among other things, that teaching our children that gay marriage exists will confuse them and somehow destroy the sanctity of marriage. Although I fully support the rights of parents to influence their childrens education, I do wonder if they TRULY have their childrens best interest at heart. It never hurts to take a little peek at history to help us understand the present. Shall we??
