I entertain myself way more than a reasonable amount, but just seeing the phrase "The Gayest Place on Earth" pop up over and over again makes me laugh out loud.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362454822350956631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-16220565296771700022008-07-11T11:11:00.000-04:002008-07-11T11:11:00.000-04:00I've decided that my goal is to be an equal-opport...I've decided that my goal is to be an equal-opportunity comment accepter (not actually a word), so I have no problems if people have opposing viewpoints and would like to submit these ideas in the comments section. Now that there seems to be a mildly opposing viewpoint from Roger, I can actually post an opposing viewpoint. I would be interested to hear more details as to why Roger thinks that opening up the doors of Michigan to more people is a step backward. I would argue that we continue to take steps backward right now, and we are currently stuck in a backward holding pattern.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362454822350956631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-32069246573084651252008-07-11T09:36:00.000-04:002008-07-11T09:36:00.000-04:00This would be a step backward.This would be a step backward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-81954083182432296122008-07-08T18:04:00.000-04:002008-07-08T18:04:00.000-04:00Hahaha.

One can only imagine how much greater not just Michigan, but the entire world would be with liberal (not a bad thing; it means open-minded, adaptable, etc. for the republican audience) ideals such as "Gay-ization." Now I understand how the right wing feels. But, simply because it is downright abhorrent for a man to sodomize another man in my opinion, does not lead me to summon godly powers and dictate which direction a man's erection must travel. Sure, it's not following the "path of least resistance." (pause for laughs) Proof is in the pudding. Massachusetts and California have shown that this specific style of modernization is highly effective. California is one of the top economies in the US, and it's run by a bodybuilder. Maybe he had little effect, and this "gay" thing spurred a hell of a financial success. I'm no economist, but I do know that Michigan should be as liberal as any state because we are bringing up the rear economically. Now let's truly "bring up the rear" and invite gays with thick smiles and open ...well just open arms. I'm concerned about you, Ken, you are under suspicion...jk!

I would be proud of my state if we could enact legislation to aid gay marriage and adoption. Think of how differently we would be viewed! Think of the support it would show for this significant portion of our country's population. I don't think this is a crazy idea at all.Peggy Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034203490184583888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517242796487875316.post-79012094864532039262008-07-08T12:47:00.000-04:002008-07-08T12:47:00.000-04:00I wouldn't mind being ruled by a velvet glove.

That sounds pretty neat. <BR/><BR/>After watching a recent '30 Days' episode about a same-sex couple based in Ann Arbor with adopted children, I got more perspective about the epidemic of abandoned or neglected children in Michigan who are in need of a caring and nurturing home. <BR/><BR/>Do you know if same-sex partners are allowed to adopt in Michigan? It seemed like the couple in the show could, but I don't know if both partners have rights to the children or are legal guardians.Maureen Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974730546445548992noreply@blogger.com
