Does the US Government wish to Re-Define Family Next

Our elected officials across the United States have wasted the past eight years fighting a war, but it has little to do with foreign terrorist and every thing to do with their own form of terrorism. Yes! I wrote that correctly…the United States government with more than two hundred years of fighting for freedom is waging a war against some of its own citizens.

As stated in other bloggs, I am horrified that so much effort has been put in to fighting for basic common rights that the United States Constitution clearly gives every man, woman and child born a citizen in this great country. Our hate-filled officials go as far as to pass laws defining marriage as only the union between a man and a woman to ensure the sanctity of what, nobody really knows. It is funny because more than 80 percent of our elected officials are themselves in their second and third marriages. The audacity to believe after one, two, three or more marriages; they feel they are pious enough to tell the good citizens who they can and cannot love. They openly perpetuate hate and vile with every speech delivered against one last bastion of oppression - Homosexuality.

Where does this tyranny end? Who dictates our next lesson in life as we live the American Dream of a free country? Do we allow the government to start defining who can adopt our poor and destitute children? Some states and politicians have already begun this battle encapsulated within the rights to marry. These same people say one or two loving parents cannot give a stable environment to a child unless those parents are one man and one woman. Who cares that the children only require love and stability. This fact-less argument based on rants from those who believe they know what is best for these children, yet they themselves are not going to adopt or foster care for the scourge they deny a good home too. They argue the depravity of a single mother is bad, but nothing compared to the infraction of giving a child to two mothers or two fathers or even one parent that loves someone of the same sex. As if, heterosexuals are the basis of good parenting skills and love.

What is the next step? Is this government going to pass laws defining a family as a celebration between one man and one woman? If government intervention is immanent, do they forget single parent families or those consummated from illegal acts such as rape? Do we believe the government will stop here, why not censor what is printed and reported? Will they stop there or are we stepping closer too a dictatorship or socialist government.

Let me tell you all about the so-called one man and one-woman families the government wants everyone to have as an example. My mother married my father because he took her out after a betting his High School football buddies that he could score with her on the first date. He was the first male person who ever paid attention to her since her father was imprisoned for molesting her most of her life. She not only fell for the lines he gave her, but also the charm used to slip her out of her dress. Nine months later, they became parents and in the interim, they were married. They had four children together and the only thing that was worst than the physical abuse was the mental cruelty. Three of the four kids left home as soon as humanly possible, me including at the age of seventeen years old.

Our lives were nothing until we left home and even then, the pain and agony caused by years of abuse took many years too resolve. If this is what the government wants for those kids, they are better off in foster care. Loving parents have nothing to do with heterosexual or homosexual inclinations.

We need to stop our government from furthering the pain and agony caused to the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender communities. We need to stop using our legal system to spread hate.

Our government needs to teach tolerance and acceptance rather than bigotry and hatred.
