Well, folks, this post is bound to get me in trouble. I seldom write about controversial topics, or if I do, I elide from one stone to another, in order to not offend. This very well may be the first time I’ve stated, unequivocally, in a non-joking matter, that I am for or against a controversial topic. Well here it is:
I believe that lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered individuals should be accorded the same rights and dignity as everyone else in American society. I think they should be allowed to marry, to file joint tax returns, to visit one another in their hospital deathbeds, enjoy health benefits of a family member, to be beneficiaries of estates (upon death of a same-sex spouse), and every other right accorded the supposedly-normal population of the the USA.
I know. I can’t believe I’m saying it either. Stop reading if you will. I won’t be offended.
