Why not, Katie? Just curious.
Anyway, definitely we should all support each other. Women (of any orientation) have their own struggles, too, so it goes both ways.
Momof2:
We should support each other just for the simple fact that God made each of us. I am Catholic. I support and believe most things that I have been taught about the Church. Our priest who is mine and my husbands age (35-38) told us that we should love everyone no matter what. He said we should not judge someone for simply loving someone. He also told us to embrace all of our brothers and sisters in love. We all are a part of God and God is love. That is why people through religion up. Anytime someone does not understand something then it must be a sin. I say let those people put their lives on public display and I am sure they have some "dirty little secret". I can not stomach religious wackos. I do not know what Bible they read.
I am a feminist. I believe everyone no matter sex, race, or sexual orientation should have the same rights. I also think that if more people would take a stand when they hear people spouting ugly and discriminatory remarks towards other people it would help. People just do not want to get involved. I have had people say that I must be bi-sexual because I am "for" gays. I say So what if I am. It is nobodys business but mine. Years ago I did not understand what being gay meant. As most I was taught that it was wrong. Then I had the privelege to be good friends with both men and women that are gay. Some of them I had no idea until they told me. It opened my eyes to the fact that they are just like any "normal" person. They love with the same passion that we do. It is just different from the way I love. More power to them. Everyone deserves and is entitled to love any one they choose.
Now I will get off my soapbox.

Hey Mom, stay on that soapbox! We need more people like you who have something to say, and say it with conviction. There is absolutely no difference between straight and gay people EXCEPT THE PARTNER IN THEIR BED!! Thank you for letting me share a corner of the soapbox.....Doug

True, a big debate of feminism would be way OT. I'm just always surprised when a woman says she is not a feminist.
