Final Thoughts . . .

Thank you to everyone who participated in the discussion this week. This is a crucial time for homosexual families and our goal with this blog was to provide our peers with enough information to make an educated decision about where they stand on the topic of the same-sex family. It is clear that inequalities for gay and lesbian couples are still very problematic when it comes to marriage rights and adoption, but there is a lot of potential for change and acceptance in the near future. We hope that we were able to present the topic in a way that touched close to home for most people, whether it was in the personal stories, celebrity stories, or current events. Based on the discussion and poll results from this week, it is clear that the majority of our peers view gay marriage and adoption as something that should be an integral part of society. Most people seem to agree that no two people who are in love, no matter what their gender should be deprived of legal rights to their partner and that no child should be deprived of a loving home, even if it is with two mommies or two daddies. We hope that at least one of these posts has sparked your interest and that you will continue to follow the issue as it progresses.

Thanks!
Emma, Lisa, Kim, Cassidy and Jacqueline
