Please Don't Hurt My Family

My name is Abby and I'm four years old. I go to preschool and I have a baby brother named Max. I love my parents so much -- one stays home with me and the other works all day but we're all together in time for dinner and baths and stories. We love to go to the playground together. Sometimes, we go on vacation to the beach or to my grandma's house. We have lots of fun together. They love kisses and hugs and tickles and we like to be silly. Last week was my birthday and my grandparents came and lots of friends and family and we had cake and ice cream. I was very happy.

I'm lucky because a few months ago, I got to see my parents get married. It was a special day and I saw how much they love each other and my baby brother and me. My whole family was there and everyone was excited because it made us even better as a family. I got to wear my favorite dress that day and Max wore his new clothes too.

Now, some people say that my parents' wedding was wrong and they say we have to pretend it didn't happen. I don't understand because my friend Jacob's mommy and daddy got married and no one is saying those mean things to them. Some people want to make it the law that my parents aren't married anymore and will never, ever, ever be able to change it. That makes me sad because I don't understand why people want to hurt my family.

I feel lucky to have two mommies. My mommies are the best mommies in the whole world and if you say they can't be married, then my brother and I will feel confused for our whole lives and wonder what's wrong with us that we're not allowed to be like all the other families.

Why do people want to hurt us?

Kate: About your question about the Churches denying Gay marriage and why can’t it be re written to exlude churches, I believe, I could be wrong, but from what I understand, if the churches refused to go JUST Gay weddings, they would lose their tax exemptions. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty certain that is one of their issues against it.

AMEN!!! I am a single mother of two beautiful kids, a 10 year old girl and an 8 yr old boy. They know that I am lesbian and that I love them more than life itself and they also know that when I was in live in relationship that they were loved. In my opinion and in my own research have found that children raised up in a homosexual home are more sensative to the needs of others and are less likely to be mean to others because of the ridicule thier family faces. Both my kids know they have the choice of who they want to be with and I will love them either way just like my mom does me!! I wish people would understand that gays and lesbians didnt mess up the marriage success rate, straight people did. Why not let us have the same rights and leave our families alone
