One thing I have noticed, is that many people are willing to look the other way while others are being suppressed or discriminated against.
If it affects there own freedom, or freedom of there loved ones it is a different story.

Wyatt,if you referring to very little response on this forum,I can think of one thing.I'll speak for myself,but many would agree,that in that particular story the couple already launched a lawsuit,and it's obvious,that they are going to win it,since it was a double discrimination( gay-not gay;professor-student).
Any discrimination is horrible. For me the only thing that matters is whether a person is god or bad. And I think in general the media is blowing things out of proportion,steering the crowd out the real problems. Same love,same commitment,same everyday married life.I don't think why the paperwork should be different. The only problem is children,adopted by gay couples.You know how cruel the school crowd can be. But gay marriages is a revolutionary process,and any revolution comes with sacrifice.Next century it could be better. Ok,out of the politics, back to Puna. I read that gay men contributed a lot to making it more beautiful. It could be genetic,but a lot of gay men I met had artistic nature. Where they live it most likely nice and beautiful. (Oh-Uh.. Reverse discrimination? Straight men have an artistic gene too).

Stillhope I was not referring to to very little response on this forum.
Simply stating what I have seen around me in my life. Even I have done it. We have known many gay couples that have adopted and fostered children. I would agree that children can be cruel. But when I was a child, if I allowed cruel children to shape my life, where would I be now. We were approached to foster and or adopt but choose not. Having the choice was awesome. My partner and I have been together 26 years in April. Marriage is not a must for us but the choice to is. Open minds lead to open hearts

I've seen the pictures.Can you refer me to your plastic surgeon? Me and Brunskiy(the boxer) could use it in the future.I told him that we will go together and he will have a mug like doberman's.
