A family is one that lives together, loves each other and does things together as a whole. A family is the one that cares for each other in sickness and in health. A family is one that cries together and tries to makes things better. A family has diagreeemnts and arguments that are resolved by talking. A family works to make life better for each member. A family does not hold judgment against each other. A family offers support when needed.
Are you a family? You are if you do any of these things together. Whether you are heterosexual or gay, if you live, love, resolve issues and work together, you are a family. No one can tell you that you are not a family as long as you live as a family. The people who tell you that you are not a family or have no right to be a family do not know what they are talking about.
Same sex partners and heterosexual partners have the right, equally, to be called a family and raise their families in a healthy and safe environment. Everyone has the right to be a family and have that family recognized by society. If you think about this logically, you will see that everyone deserves to be happy and experience life as a family. Whether a person is gay or straight, they deserve to be happy and enjoy the rewards of being a family.
What makes up your family?

The Buzz Is All About Gay's
Everyone knows that the gay community is always in the headlines. The thing that most people do not know is that there are people that actually think they are talking in plain English when they try to tell a story. The truth is that they open their mouths and something stupid comes out.
My latest read came from a man named Matt Barber, who was the AFA online guest columnist that posted an article in July. He was talking about the latest controversy over the legal visitation of a former partner of the mother of a six-year-old girl. The ex-partner wants visitation and the mother disagrees. Anyway, that is not my problem with his post.
The problem I have with his post is that he said that the mother, Lisa Miller was involved in a homosexual relationship before she became a Christian. He goes on to say that, the Vermont courts are trying to pull the daughter away from her biological mother because of her Christian faith. He then adds that the homosexual agenda is against the Christian faith.
Now, I might be a little slow sometimes, but when did being gay mean that you were not a Christian? Lisa Miller was a homosexual until she became a Christian. Matt Barber wants you to believe that she was not a Christian before this. If you believe in God and accept him, you are a Christian. Am I wrong?
Once again, the AFA has decided that you are not a Christian if you are gay. The bible did not say that, the AFA does. The bible may say many things, but it does not say you are an atheist if you are gay. The AFA must be the new God. I suggest the people who believe in them and their words run and hide because you are working against the bible and not for it.
The bible you preach about so much says that you should not discriminate.

Why Pay Attention To Diversity
The term diversity is relatively new, but is showing up everywhere in our culture. Diversity offers us all a way to talk about and understand what we are and it has a meaning for all of us. Everyone needs to understand what diversity means and embrace the values and ideas that come with it.
We as human beings are diverse. We all have different capabilities, talents and appearances. People speak different languages and have different talents such as some people are good at parenting, some are good at athletics and some are good at school. Everyone is good at something. Some people may be fast or strong, some may have endurance. Some people are big, some are small, some are old and some are young. Some are gay and some are straight. People come in different colors. Each person is unique and different, which makes no two people alike.
Although people are different, they do have one thing in common. We all have heartbeats. Some have different desires and thoughts, which makes us unique. In a diverse culture, we all have the same values of home, love and family. We are all different, but we are all alike. We need to accept and honor diversity because God's world would be nothing without each and every one of us.
If God had wanted the world populated with humans that thought exactly the same, spoke the same or looked the same or lived the same, he would have arranged it that way. Because we are all here with hearts beating, it means that every one of us is important. The fact is that we all need each other because no one person knows everything about the world. We each contribute something.
There is one thing that puzzles people in this world. It is that when faced with someone different from what we think or know, people display a judgmental and negative reaction. No matter what someone's language is, sexual orientation is or color of skin is, people must learn to accept diversity. It is time to except people for who they are because to them we are different as well. Understanding people of diversity is the only option to keep the world alive and thriving. Humanity is not complete unless it includes every single person.

The Census Bureau Will Not Count Gay Marriages
Noted in 2008: The US Census Bureau will not count gay married couples as a family when conducting the next census. The bureau defines a family as people related by birth or by marriage or adoption. They have said that gay marriages that take place in California, Massachusetts or anywhere else will not be deemed a family on the census reports.
This means that the US Census Report will not reflect all families in the country. The report will be wrong. This can only create more tax deficits and confusion when calculating the population of the United States. This means that once again the government has found a way to hide same sex marriages and gay couples living together as a family.
This new announcement will go against everything that the census was intended for statistically. The opinions of most will not change, but you can bet this will affect the government when planning tax budgets and agreements.

John McCain Does Not Believe In Gay Adoption
A question was posed to John McCain about whether he agreed with President Bush's statement that gays should not be allowed to adopt children. McCain agreed with Bush and said he believes that two parents are important for the family to be a success. Therefore, McCain does not believe in gay adoption. Since we already know that McCain does not believe that gay couples should marry, this should not have came as a surprise.
When asked if the only other alternative was for kids to live in orphanages without parents, McCain evaded that question by saying he and his wife are adoptive parents and he encourages others to adopt children in need. He believes the adoption process should be less complicated and fast.
This means to me that McCain would rather see children that are hard to place live without parents in an orphanage or worst because gay couples should not be allowed to adopt. I have met parents, gay parents that is, that have adopted hard to place children only to find out the children only needed love and understanding. The compassion that gay couples have is amazing. They have the time to raise a family and be happy.
One would have to wonder what makes McCain so cold when it comes to children. Since he does not use the Internet much, he must not know that there are so many children out there that need homes, but cannot find parents because of underlying situations. Before he can take a stand against gay adoption, he should get together with his advisers and campaign staff and find out the statistics about children that nobody wants to adopt. .
Someone should really send McCain some information regarding children in the world that need homes and do not have them. Maybe he would have to wake up and realize that he is dooming these precious children to a life without love and compassion. He is denying these children parents to love them and care for them. He is denying children the advantages of his own daughter.
