One of the reasons that I think making same sex marriage legal is to protect these types of parental rights.
For me, it was this issue, plus immigration issues, that convinced me that we need marriage and that civil unions, or anything less than marriage, was not enough.
ImememeN, I am all upset and anxious about Iraq and Joe's upcoming deployment (which is not until next September, so I really need to chill). I was upset this morning, and then I went to a promotion ceremony that was a) held at the memorial for all those who have died from Ft. Carson, including two people I/we knew and b) the promotion speaker, who I like and think is a good man, was talking about the promotee telling his children someday about how he was off in Iraq defending America from the people who crashed two planes into two towers.

Oh, crap, GC, that's such bullshit, and I'm sorry. You're having a baby, and that is itself giant and mindblowing (and expensive) enough that you shouldn't have to worry about anything else on top of that, let alone mindless bureaucratic garbage that shouldn't even be a question at all because you're
legally married.
Somewhere inside I'm still proud of my fourth-generation native status, but more and more lately I find myself thinking,
Fuck you, you moron state. Be less stupid!
That's really frustrating, GC :( I hope you can get the adoption sorted as quickly and easily as possible, at least.
Fuck those fuckers, GC! I'm so sorry you have to deal with this institutionalized homophobia. FUCK.
What?
It's like, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!
Hee. It kind of screamed "O HAI, I AM FOR AIMEE" at me when I saw it on the free table.
