Gay Marriage
I believe that marriage should be available to all Americans, gay or straight.
It is all about equality. If the LDS church chooses not to acknowledge a gay marriage that is there prerogative. They can choose what doctrine to teach and what they want there members to practice and believe. Just because a church thinks that gay marriage is against there teachings, does not mean that it is wrong.
We should all have the choice and marry whomever we choose.
A church that does not believe in gay marriage that is ok. But taking that right away from other people that do not believe the same is wrong. I think when a church forces its morals and standards on others, that is wrong. They have the freedom to preach what ever they choose, but they should not force that on me or anyone else.
I believe this country was built with the ideas of equality for all, it is now time to make that for everyone, even gay people, even if you do not think gay marriage is right, you should not take that away from other people that have different beliefs and views.
So before you cast that vote, before you judge someone that is different from you, think twice, think about how it may not be for you, but why should I take that away from someone else.
I know that Gay Marriage will made in to Federal Law in my lifetime. When that time comes, I will marry the man that has brought me so much joy, happiness and love. I will be so proud to walk down that isle and show the world, who I love. So what if it is someone of the same sex, we are a happy loving couple that has supported each other and been thru some rough times together. Why should someone keep that out of arms reach from me.
We have 3 wonderful grandchildren, I want to say to them one day, that your grandpa's are married and we are no longer second class citizens.

Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan
OMG!!! The new Sarah McLachlan CD came out today! I love Sarah! It is a greatest hits with a few new songs! I love it! She is so fabulous!
I have only seen her once in concert and the was the After Glow Tour. She hadn't toured in years and the first show was at the Key Arena in Seattle.( I love Seattle!) My dear friend and cousin Jo, lived in Washington at the time, So I went to visit her and while I was there we went to the concert. If I remember correctly it was on July 3rd! I drove to Washington all by myself and spent a week with her. It was a amazing, fun trip. My cousin need the support! I was so glad I went! So back to the show! We got floor seating! It was one of the most amazing concerts in my life. I love Sarah's energy and her music! It was so cool to be the first show in her tour after so many years.
Another story about Sarah, they played "Angel" at my uncles funeral. That song is so moving!
Another note about my cousin and Sarah, at the time After Glow came out, all of the songs on that CD seem to be telling her what she needed to hear at that time. She didn't pay much attention and moved back home to Utah a few months later. I love my cousin very much, I just wish she could see her inner beauty and how wonderful of a person she is and let go of the past.
