I added a small blurb. Then again, the only people who wouldn’t get it are the ones who just DON’T GET IT —if you know what I mean.

Yeah, Joe – I know you do, and thanks. I don’t think everyone will get the irony – just thought I’d further clarify.

Hi Lori. I agree with you wholeheartedly. In fact, I have been very outspoken when it comes to the topic of gay marriage and how hypocrites condemn gay people for being sinners, yet completely excuse DIVORCE (and a litany of other “sins”), that are far more responsible for the decay of “family” values than homosexuality ever could be. The museum component was only intended to speak to the so-called legitimization of alternative family life with court’s recent ruling. Thanks for writing.

I think this is funny. But, a minor. One, the “traditional” family in context of the US was mostly extended family living in the same general area or even in the same house, for generations. With our moblility, we became more nuclear-style. Since the early 70s, we’ve been shifting to a family of DIVORCE and one-parent homes – so, this whole thing about protecting an institution of “traditional family” that at one point didn’t exist, then existed briefly, and hasn’t existed for two generations, is really kinda silly.
