On politics.
I rarely, if ever, pay any real mind to politics. One of the few subjects I do care about tends to be spoken of mostly in whispers: Gay Rights.
We all know about all the marriage laws going the rounds. Seems like everyday another state is trying to pass some law about it, pro or con.
But a bill introduced into the US House of Reps last week has me pissed right now.
H.R. 635, the “Parental Title Protection Act,” is essentially a blatantly discriminatory bill aimed at preventing same-sex couples from being legally recognized as parents.
From his own page this person basically states that allowing same-sex couples to fill out legal documents is undermining families and values.
My question is this: If 'traditional' families are so wholesome and wonderful, why is there so much abuse? Rather that try to screw over loving parents that genuinely care for their children, how bout focusing on protecting children from their abusive 'traditional' parents?
Oh, that's right, because being gay is apparently more evil than beating a defenseless child within an inch of his/her life. Because love between two men or women is more morally reprehensible than abandoning a child in an alleyway.
Honestly, this bill is, at best, extremely discriminatory, at worst, a thinly veiled attempt to define marriage in a round-about way as well as being discriminatory.
I've already written my Representative to urge him to oppose this bill. Whether it'll do any good, I don't know. I can only hope that it makes some impact.
