Karel, are you THE Karel who wrote the article? If so, we may have to have you on the show for a debate! Nina, I’m with you.

This action only led to a mainstream backlash, like the Latino artists recording the Star Spangled Banner. While I believe both should happen, these are dangerous times and battles must be chosen and fought wisely. And, if it helps you any, I think the parents of the Katrina Kids that had them sing such a ludicrous and untrue song for the Prez are equally as despicable!

I do believe there are parts of the country where LGBT individuals feel comfortable and safe (as they should in all parts of the country), but I also feel that some of my friends that have shared these comments with me ought to go outside of the city more often. I live with my partner and our three teenage children in a suburb outside of Seattle, and I still see lots of ignorance. I think it's important to show the public our famlies are no different, on the personal, intimate level, than our straight neighbors, especially at an event that is at our nation's capitol. As long as my family still has no full social security benefits and tax benefits as other families, I feel that we need to continue to be vocal. My children understand why the spotlight is on them; they're proud of their parents (as much as teenagers can be).
