In Reality

In reality:

Parents dress their two year old in lipstick, eye liner and hairspray. Parents place their three year old in short shorts and stockings. Parents have their four year old strutting down the runway with Madonna cylinder boobs. Parents showcase their five year old in a French maid’s outfit encouraging their daughter to bump some booty. In reality, even though we are told Gays make horrible role models, and bad parents, all of the parents of the two, three, four and five year old showgirl beauty queens are heterosexual males and females. In reality you can go to any reality show showcasing infants and toddlers and their lack luster loser parents and see a perfect demonstration of poor parenting, by heterosexuals.


In reality:

Teenage females maybe 14, maybe 15, maybe 16 are proud and pregnant, seen fighting with their babies Dad, who knocked them up but ain’t going to knock them down. Teenage females, barely making it in high school, with little vocational training, little less adult intervention bragging about baby number two and proudly proclaiming if they want baby number three it will arrive whenever they want to play around again. Teenage females seen fighting with their boyfriends, handcuffed by the police for theft and vandalism, all arrogant and cocky denying that their poor choices left any consequences to innocents like their babies. In reality even though we are told Gays make horrendous role models and lousy parents, all these female moms are daughters are heterosexual men and women who have no idea what parenting is all about. In reality you can go to any reality show showcasing Teen Moms and witness heterosexual parents who are helpless and hopeless intervening in their daughter’s life.


In reality:

Watch Lindsey Lohan, Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus’s parents, heterosexuals assist their daughters to spin out, fall down, act out as they reap the benefits of stardom off the backs of their children. Watch movie star moms and dads all heterosexual as they bail their kids out of jail for drugs, reckless behavior. Watch Child Stars who have grown into young adults as they are arrested time and time again, fall prey to the streets, mutilate themselves recalling stories from their parents all heterosexuals who paid little attention to their lives once the limelight dimmed and the dollars declined. In reality even though we are told Gays make half assed Moms and Dads, all these kids were raised by, managed by, guided by heterosexual parents who did not see the beauty of their children but the bucks they could bring in. In reality you can go to any reality Celebrity show and spy on parents who hopped on the gravy train and made no attempt to parent.


In reality, those who want to lash out at the love, care, responsible nature of men and women who happen to be Gay, who wish to raise a family, their family with love, conscience, care and respect are not lashing out with anything but bias and bigotry. In reality those who say Gay parents defile Gods wishes in raising a family, refuse to look at anything but the emptiness of their own religious beliefs, the lack of their own conscience in their own heart and see the real world with real people in front of their own clouded eyes. In reality, those who hate based on innuendo, fabrication, religious dogma and complete lack of knowledge have not faced reality.


Just go to any cable channel, look up tiaras, toddlers, unwed mom, pregnant , teenager, child stars, scandal, interventions, arrest, and then look at who it is that brought those kids into the world and who it is that has done such a lousy job in parenting them. Then look up heterosexual parent.


It is not about heterosexuals doing a worse job, or homosexuals doing a better job, it is about the individual, either heterosexual or homosexual and how they raise the kid. But instead it seems it is about a group of people and the stereotypes created to defile them, which fog the filters of sense and sensibility. It seems it is about the fear of insecure folk always looking for a villain for their own folly and failures. It seems it is always about finding an enemy and in doing so overlooking the real issue, the welfare of the kids.


In reality it is the tools you carry as a male or female, a home with one dad and one mom, two dads, two moms or a home with one parent, that create a child with self esteem, self worth, self acceptance.


And if you don’t believe that just watch Reality TV.

I've seen too many wonderful gay couples raise children with love, dignity and with respectable values. Equal Rights Now!
