A Sad Commentary
How pathetic that The White House Easter egg roll couldn't come and go without being hijacked by people with an agenda.
Of course gay families should have been welcomed to the event -- they're Americans, aren't they? But it's unfortunate that, after insisting they're just ordinary and regular folks, some attendees felt it necessary to "make a statement" about their presence there.
It would have been inappropriate for a group with any agenda to try to take this traditional event and manipulate it for their own ends. You notice that military families didn't plan to come en masse wearing leis to signify support for the war in Iraq. Nor did pro-lifers come wearing an identifying item to remind everyone of the aborted children who, obviously, weren't in attendance.
That's because, no matter how worthy one's cause, some things are just not about adults and their agendas. They're supposed to be for the children.
Has policy disagreement reached such a pitch in this country that we can't have an Easter egg roll without someone trying to coopt it to further an agenda?

Sorry Mirabelle,
I can only support those who stand for what is right despite the struggle it may be for them. I cannot support those who succomb to their unholy, unnatural and abnormal desires and compound it by bringing children into it. Don't get me wrong. I don't hate you at all. I pity you for taking the wrong path. I am, however, dismayed by how many would seek to make what is wrong acceptable and then try to put forth the notion that it will end there. Others will try to have their particular desires legitimized as well. And why shouldn't they if their argument mirrors yours? You ask that others walk a mile in your shoes before passing judgement. But most everyone does who is compelled to act in a way that has been considered immoral, wicked or just plain wrong for just about ever. What about the married guy who feels the desire to take up with another woman? What about the siblings who wish to take up with each other? What about the guy who wants to take what doesn't belong to him, or the guy who wants to knock the crap out of someone who offends him? What about all the other urges and desires that compel people that are resisted for the sake of a higher or better purpose? People struggle with desires constantly. Very few of them seek to have legislation passed to enable them, to interpret Scripture to sanction them, or to twist science and thousands of years of culture and tradition to placate them. Your position is wrong and you need to reconsider it. May God enlighten and guide you.
