sorry mr. fink..
but i tend to disagree with you and disagree often.....
thank god we have expanded outside the limited, white,
narrow and provincial definition of "marriage" that you have
discussed on these pages...
and you may also want to look at how 'Family" has
been
redefined in our incredible amazing multicultural gay, lesbian. BI and het
world...it's a big diverse world, have you noticed?
it not just about
dad plus mom and a kidster.....
and
hey..if you want to take a random sample...about "marriage"....
"family"
just open your eyes and look around you in Berkley town....
maybe your horizons will expand, maybe
not?
