Mom's comments

There was an article in the paper today that the California State Supreme Court will be meeting tomorrow to discuss the definition of marriage. The article title on the front page of the newspaper was "Gay marriage issue at debate." I knew my mom would comment on it, and she did. Her response was "I don't want gay marriage. That's not my definition of marriage." I just kept doing my thing trying to ignore it.

Mikey, I'm a little disappointed in you for at least not engaging in the debate with her. Just a little pushing on why she thinks gay marriage is not right and why gays and lesbians should not be treated as equal. Just to get her thinking about equal treatment under the law. Since both of your parents are educators, has there ever been any discussion about the Lawrence King murder in Oxnard? How educators should handle bulling in schools, anything like that. Just curious.

Shame on me, I know. I'm just not comfortable discussing this with my mom, especially when I'm not out to her.
