"We Are Going to Have Families Whether We Have Rights or Not"

That does of reality was delivered by Sara Whitman at The Huffington Post. Here's an excerpt:

I don't know if anyone from the anti-equality side realizes this, but we are going to have families whether we have rights nor not. Our kids are going to go to public schools, whether or not the right to marry is repealed. Your kids are going to be sitting next to our kids in class. They will learn about different families. The chance to stop that ... well ... was never a possibility. You can fight to change the curriculum to include God, creationism, and prayer but our kids are still going to have two moms or two dads, and there isn't a damn thing you can do to change that.

So all those precious images of the little red school house where everyone was uniform and the same are over no matter what laws are passed. I've been to my kids classrooms and nary a single pink triangle or rainbow flag or utterance of anything LGBT has ever happened. But all the kids know my sons have two moms.

It seems that part of our population is losing their grip on reality more as every day goes by. Essays like this one would help keep them tethered if they would take the time to read and understand. Click here to read more.
