Moms For Ohio

I was reading in the Cleveland Plain Dealer today about a PAC called Moms for Ohio. Whenever I see that a group puts a "focus on the family" I get a little bit on edge. Sure enough as I read the article one of their missions is to keep marriage between a man and a woman (not so secret code for HOMOPHOBIA). Why is it that anytime somebody is focused on family it is to the exclusion and detriment of homosexuals. I have to wonder what would happen if one of their sons came home and tried to tell them he was gay (trust me, not an easy conversation to have even when your parents are liberal democrats like mine) or if their daughter wanted to bring her girlfriend home for Christmas dinner? Would these women (and men who are also involved in the PAC) disown their children? Would a homosexual child no longer be a part of the family? Does their love for their children only extend so far as their children live the lives that the mothers want them too? Would they be content knowing that they worked hard to assure that if they did have a gay child that that child would be a second class citizen?

I really hate it when closed-minded people give all moms a bad name. We're not all against gay marriage! It just really irks me when words like "Moms for Ohio" or "family values" are used to persecute gays.

I totally wish upon all these moms, at least one gay child -- So they'll have to face the issue head-on and really examine their own "values".
