I have heard over and over again that the more of us that come out and live our lives openly, the more attitudes and perceptions will change. I am sure that this has helped build equality too. This is a wonderful post of celebration - and you even pulled off the connection to health. <br /><br />Well done! :)Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715784900659276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-22455681685883982282013-07-07T07:35:38.422-04:002013-07-07T07:35:38.422-04:00smiles...it is a wonderful day we are finally get...smiles...it is a wonderful day we are finally getting around to...and i am glad that the climate changes enough for us to get there...another step on the way you know....<br /><br />congrats on your POTW over at Hilary'sBrian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-40462615235568934542013-07-05T01:32:38.481-04:002013-07-05T01:32:38.481-04:00It's interesting to see how accepting kids are...It's interesting to see how accepting kids are of the idea of having same sex parents but it shouldn't surprise us either as prejudice is learned. I think eventually we will come to see gay marriage in the same context as racial and gender equality issues. Those issues were just as controversial in their time but those rights now enshrined in legislation are taken for granted and considered to be self-evidently true.Sarahhttp://meratolreport.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-65369158475542663892013-07-04T10:52:15.389-04:002013-07-04T10:52:15.389-04:00Hey thanks Sherri for your support, and I totally ...Hey thanks Sherri for your support, and I totally hear you on how different things are in different parts of the country.

It didn't change how I felt about your blog and such. My oldest son is gay. Though I don't pretend to comprehend everything about what that means, I was happy to hear that one more step was made for gay rights. And I don't think it will lead to people marrying their dogs or other four legged pets. <br />I wish I could be 'out' about my son. Living where I do though, I am hesitant to explain why my 30 year old son is not married with children. I don't talk about religion or lack thereof either. Someday though...as you say, hopefully this milestone was another step in the right direction of needed social changes. As long as we keep it two steps forward for every one step back, we will progress!<br />Sherri https://www.blogger.com/profile/04928191196045775058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-1933523087243441772013-07-02T11:20:13.959-04:002013-07-02T11:20:13.959-04:00Glad you loved my city!!

I admit I wasn't real hopeful about DOMA being struck down, but after my home state of Minnesota "legalized" (I hate that word when it comes to civil rights...they should be a given, not legislated...) gay marriage, which surprised the living bejeepers out of me, I believed anything was possible. Yay for water cooler conversations in the Supreme Court building! LOL Great post, and for the record, I'd wear a sign that said "I love the Lobster and Cranky."

People have to get out of their comfortable, closed-minded little world, and realize that we all deserve the same rights.<br /><br />My kids are 7 and 9 and already aware of the existence of the gay community and of the fact that everyone's rights should be the same. <br /><br />My friend's son, who's 7, recently told his mom that when he grows up, he wants to be in a homoparental family! He plans to marry his male best friend, and to adopt kids. :-)HappinessSavouredHot (Julie Saint-Mleux)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10440062323314751611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-81568468559960112532013-07-01T07:29:47.002-04:002013-07-01T07:29:47.002-04:00It's the Lobster's mom, sorry to be confus...It's the Lobster's mom, sorry to be confusing!

We were busy celebrating with family - including our daughter and her wife, and now we're on the road that will take us to the Death Ride in 2 weeks (yikes! ) so computer time has been limited. <br /><br />But what a wonderful outcome! And it is reassuring that many conservatives agree if only because they don't see it as any business of the government's. So the group that may fight going forward is much smaller.<br /><br />I finished college just when many people were beginning to leave the closet behind forever.

When I think about the progress we've made in terms of gay rights just in my lifetime, it actually makes me feel - dare I say it? - optimistic about the future.<br /><br />Also I think you can definitely draw a clear line between social forces and poor physical and mental health. After all, if you are constantly fighting your entire society just for the right to exist, you're likely to be stressed out, tired, depressed or anxious, prone to self-medicating with alcohol and what have you. A more just society is definitely a key aspect of a healthier society, in sooo many ways.Caitlinhttp://fitandfeminist.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-28560265971012983362013-06-29T00:03:56.865-04:002013-06-29T00:03:56.865-04:00What a lovely post, unfortunately I live in a coun...What a lovely post, unfortunately I live in a country where gay marriage is not legal, pathetic.

Yes, it was there before but my feeling is much worse since he was elected.<br /><br />If we can't get back to separation of church & state than we are in trouble.
