No one has any rights or freedoms if they are subject to be stripped by opportunistic politicians or churches. The international community is starting to notice.

This is old stuff that we've heard around the world for years. If marriage and heterosexuality is so wonderful, right, natural, strong and so on and so on, how on earth can gay men and women, by having their partnerships recognised change 'the family institution' in any way, except for the better when gay people can live open, loving and enriching lives and are no longer forced to lie inside false marriages or whatever?<BR/><BR/>I send you love and best wishes for your campaign. It may take time but I'm sure you will get there.KiltedGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524616823044416675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762326870168386581.post-1735622542974066382009-03-12T02:18:00.000-07:002009-03-12T02:18:00.000-07:00I'm a bisexual American living in Beijing.
