On Gay Marriage and Prop-8:

Responding to Dad and Jeff:

Luci Says...

In America today there seems to be a lot of debate surrounding gay marriage and the sanctity of the vows of marriage. People believe that if same sex marriage is permitted, then their own heterosexual marriage is less legitimate. People should be able to marry as they choose and allowing that freedom means that we are a tolerant and accepting people.

When a teacher in Massachusetts read a book about same sex marriage to children, I believe that she did so in the hopes that she was teaching tolerance. School is a place for education. Simply because a child is told about something does not mean that they will take up that life style choice. Education is our worlds only hope for unity. Giving children a well rounded education ensures that they will grow up to be critical thinkers.

Steve says...

Marriage is an institution created by man. Marriage benefits are established by man's laws. Once slavery was legal. Once a white man could rape his slaves, beat his wife, and slaughter other cultures, all with the blessings of tradition, religion, and laws. In America, today, we vote on what our morals will become. In prop-8, the people of California will be deciding what the values of the future will be.

If you can, vote no on prop-8. Many people will vote yes, and I suspect that they will win. Eventually, however, a civilized, democratic society will have to grant everyone the right to marry whoever they wish. Such a theoretical civilized and democratic society would come to accept, by majority vote, that allowing all people to live as they please without harming others is sacred and is indeed a divine duty.

The great Lewis Black sums up our position on gay marriage below in the satire, Gay Banditos.

Today we celebrated C's birthday!

After several years of ear
piercing practice, she played her first
Vivaldi. We are very proud. It
hardly seems possible that we have
actually lived through the first
years of band.

Our email is down. Some internet pirates have stolen stevesloan.org
When you go to our homepage there is some ad there. Steve is working
feverishly, using language I dare not repeat to get us back up and running.
It is likely we will have to go and find a new home site. Boo, hoo!
You know how this heinous practice works. They take your site
then they try to sell it back to you.
You can email or text our cell phones if you need to
initiate contact.

Girls day out shopping on Black Friday.

For those of you who have not heard. We are having a baby.
Lorena and Eric have graciously accepted to be
God parents in a
ceremony that will be officiated
by a family friend. We are very excited.
The baby is due May 30th, 2008.
We are 12 weeks 3 days today. Over the weekend
I will have
Steve load pictures of the
ultrasound.
At the end of December we should be far
enough along to determine
the gender.
