Campbell Soup Supports All American Families – Even Ours!

This is a fantabulous married lesbian couple Lea Forant and Carolyn Montgomery.  They have a child together and they star in a new Campbell Soup Company ad.  So first things first!  Thanks to this great American couple for sharing your family with the rest of the world . . . such a cute family.

TO DO LIST FOR YOU:

Send an email to Campbell Soup Company President Douglas Conant. Thank him and tell him you want his company to continue to support American families, including those folks in families headed by 2 moms or 2 dads.  Our inspiration for supporting Campbell’s?   The wack-jobs at the American Family Association. Thanks, you cute wacky far-right-wing-nut-jobs! 

In the December, 2008 and January, 2009 issues, Campbell Soup Company bought two, two-page advertisements in the latest issues of the nation’s largest homosexual magazine, “The Advocate.” The ads promote their Swanson line of broth.  In one of the December ads, the Campbell Soup Company highlighted the lives of two lesbians with their son. The others feature New York City chefs. See the ads here.

Campbell Soup Company has openly begun supporting all American families by showing that even those families headed by 2 moms and 2 dads have everyday concerns – like buying good soup. Not only did the ads cost Campbell’s a chunk of money, but they also sent a message that homosexual parents and their children constitute a deserving family and are worthy of support. They also gave their approval to the entire population of nice people.

TAKE ACTION

Send an email to Campbell Soup Company President Douglas Conant. Thank him for supporting all American families, even those headed by 2 moms or 2 dads.

• After sending your email, please call Campbell Soup Company (800-257-8443) and their Swanson division (1-800-442-7684) and ask the company to continue to support all families.
• Forward this e-mail to your friends and family so they will know about Campbell’s support of all American families.

Lesbian Parent / Kids Story That Makes Me Want To Punch a Mean Christian

This really ticks me off.  I mean really ticks me off.   Two small children have been raised for 5 years by 2 mothers.  One day the legally recognized mom decides that she wants out of the relationship.  Sometimes it’s because of another love interest, sometimes it’s because her brain was sucked out by the force of religion . . . it really doesn’t matter why. 

All that matters for the kids is that their parents are no longer going to live together.  It is a crushing blow to children.  Their parents are their anchor to the world.  Everything revolves around their parents. 

In light of the f – – – ed up law in the US, many gay and lesbian parents can take advantage of the situation.  You see in heterosexual relationships there are laws to protect these children and governmental systems put in place so that parents can’t deny a child their other parent just because of a breakup.   However, in the case of a lesbian relationship . . . it’s a cage match to the end. 

So here are these right-wing crazy fool Christian f – – – wads who come in and try to help the scum bag mother who would keep her children from their other mother just because she doesn’t want to be in a relationship any longer. 

Judges often see through this and rule in the best interest of the children.  And believe me, it is in the best interest of the children to assist them in maintaining a relationship with both parents. 

No, not to the right wing crazed Christian a-holes.  All they care about is making sure that the lesbian is punished.  Forget about the kids – get the lesbo.

Scum – they are scum.  They can’t believe the judge is going to let these children have contact with both of their parents.  I mean . . . really . . . the ex-gay mom bought and paid for them!  Here is a link – CLICK HERE.

 

UPDATE:  Here is another one from Pams House Blend.  Can you imagine how much these moms are spending to in order to try to keep in contact with their children.  It is criminal!

Yet Another Round in Virginia (So-Called) Ex-Gay vs. Vermont Lesbian Custody Battleby: KatRose
Thu Oct 02, 2008 at 13:41:04 PM EDT

 Pam reports on the (so-Called) Concerned (Occasionally) Women (cough! hack!) for America and their attempt to keep a mother from seeing her children.  Here is what the CWA wrote:

Please act now to pray and support Lisa Miller as she fights to keep her daughter, Isabella. Embroiled in a custody battle with her former lesbian partner, Lisa is now a Christian who wants to raise her own biological child but has been told by the Vermont courts that they may strip her of those rights. Pray for Lisa as she and her legal counsel attend a hearing that will take place on October 27, 2008, in Vermont. At that hearing, a judge will decide whether or not Lisa will be punished for supposedly disobeying the court-ordered visitation to a woman who is not biologically related to her child.

Lisa’s attorney, Rena Lindevaldsen, has written a letter to update everyone on Lisa’s current situation. Rena gives her own account of Lisa’s story and explains what will happen in the coming months. To read Rena’ letter, in its entirety, please go to http://www.cwfa.org/images/content/millerrenaletter.pdf.

Lesbian Love Muffins Melissa Etheridge & Tammy Lynn Michaels Plan to Get the Coupon for Marriage Equality

On her blog, Hollywood Farm Girl, Tammy Lynn Michaels reveals her thoughts on her upcoming re-marriage to Melissa Etheridge.  Apparently marriage equality (including the obligations and responsibilities) is becoming popular with celebrity lesbo couples.  

Well, it’s probably becoming popular with all gay and lesbian couples who have children.  Isn’t it so radical that these parents want to give their children the security of a legally recognized family? 

In any event, here is the light-hearted message from Tammy’s blog:

honey and i were married on September 20, 2003. gowns, flowers, table numbers, assignments, DJ AM, and a candy table for the children. so when people approach me and say “are you getting married?” i feel like i need to check over my shoulder to see if they are really talking to me. Me? You talking to me? Me with the lasagne noodles up to my elbows, a mop and bucket i need to wash out, a list of fifteen trinkets and trackets to pick up at the store… Me? Me with the poop smear on hand cuz i missed it after i was wiping a wee one, me with the grocery list started, a plan for the family for the week, and three birthday parties to start thinking about… you want to know if i want to get married?

darlin’, i AM married.

now, do you mean, do i want to go get that gay certificate that gives us a percentage off of our taxes? HELL YES, i want that coupon!!! i love coupons! I CLIP FOR SAVINGS!!!!

Melissa put it this way, “Yes, we have four children and we’re trying to find the right time,” to legally tie the knot. 

We wish them great happiness.  May their ball and chain always feel comfortable.

Florida State Court Says Gay Adoption Ban Unconstitutional

A Circuit Court Judge in Florida has ruled that an openly gay man can adopt a boy with special needs he has been fostering for the past seven years.

The state is currently the only state in the US that explicitly bans gay people from adopting.  

The judge said that as the 31-year-old law singles out a group for exclusion it is “unconstitutional,” reported the Miami Herald.

Mississippi and Michigan have explicit policies banning same-sex couples from adopting, while the legal situation is unclear in many other states.

Single gay or lesbian people and same-sex couples are banned from adopting in Florida.

There are no specific restrictions on single gays adopting in any other state. Arkansas will vote on a ban in November.

Monroe County Circuit Judge David J. Audlin Jr. said the Florida law forbidding gay people from adopting children is contrary to the state Constitution because it singles out a group for punishment.

His ruling also calls the law “contrary to every child welfare principle.”

Miami attorney Alan Mishael, who represents the boy’s guardian, said the ruling is less about public policy than the welfare of a former foster child who wants a father of his own.

“This is a case about a young man who already had a permanent guardian but wanted to have a father,” Mishael told the Miami Herald. “That’s what the case is about. That’s all it’s about.”

Audlin appointed the foster father as guardian for the boy in 2006. At a recent hearing, the boy testified he wanted the man to be his ”forever father” — like all the other kids had — ”because I love him,” the order says.

A home study by a social worker ”highly” recommended the guardian and his partner be allowed to adopt the boy, saying the two men provided a ”loving and nurturing home,” provided ”fair and consistent” discipline and are financially secure, the order says.

The Republican nominee for President of the United States declared his opposition to gay adoption in an interview in The New York Times last month.

Senator John McCain said:

“I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption.”

Democratic party nominee Barack Obama has pledged to work towards the elimination of discrimination against LGBT families if elected.

World Daily Nuts Agree – Lesbian Breakups – Looks Like a Divorce, Acts Like a Divorce – So What Is It?

“WND – A Free Press for a Free People” 

You know about World Net Daily, right?  The Internet “news” site that is also known as “WND – World Nuts’ Daily.”

If you’ve never heard of the site, let’s just say that WND is tilted toward the right wing, evangelical, crazy-conservative view of news and world events. 

Well, finally WND is catching on to the real lives of lesbian couples.  Yes, it’s true.  It really is.

A few weeks ago I described my relationship in a post titled “We’re Not Lesbians We’re A Straight Married Couple.”  And now, WND has an article on the same subject titled “Lesbian Child Custoday Battles and Heterosexual Divorce,” pointing out that when it comes to breaking up – our relationships look a lot like their relationships.  Yes, Virginia, these creatures seem to have the same traits as real humans!

While the WND article tries to make the point, “see – told you it wasn’t the man’s fault when parents act like asses during a divorce;”  the article actually makes a much more important point.  If us lesbians act like married people and have children just liked married people – it looks like a marriage, walks like a marriage – the law should allow lesbians to get friggin married. 

However, the HUGE point is this.   What do married people do when they break up?  They act like asses.  What is one of the worst things that can happen during these situations?  The children get used as weapons.  How does society keep some order to this mess and how do we protect the children?  We have laws and a judicial system to help these families come together and for parents to go their own way.   And, we know that even with this judicial system in place for heterosexual families  – people still find a way to hurt each other and children. 

Now, why on Earth is society (especially the children described in the WND article) in a better place by giving lesbians a who-knows-anything-goes system?  In most states, there is no way for a family with lesbian parents to legally connect nor a system for them to divide their belongings and decide on child custody, visitation or child support.   I mean – really, couldn’t state laws at least incorporate a cage match into the system to give us some boundaries? 

Hello WND – your common sense is showing. 

One Lesbo Mom on Gay & Lesbian Families and Talking About Uncomfortable Things

1.  I’m not part of a “gay family” or “lesbian family.”   We’re a family that just happens to have two moms.

2.  I used to be sympathetic to those parents who weren’t ready to tell their kids about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals and their children.   I’ve now been a parent for over 6 years and it’s really no big deal.  I was reluctant to tell my son about these things but I’ve realized that I should be able to and can talk to my son about anything. 

True information does not hurt kids.  It only helps prepare them for the world.  

Here are some of the topics that I’ve dreaded but that turned out to be no big deals:  what’s a tampon, how does the sperm get from the testicles into the woman, what’s a bear, transexuals, sex change surgery, a man having a baby, why I have to “adopt” him in another state, why we had a civil union in another state, racial discrimination and one of the hardest subjects so far – toy recalls.   That was tough.   My little one loved his Red Lego Monster Truck that he named Chitty.  However, it was recalled.   After days of adorable crying, we kept Chitty.  

3.  How and when do I explain to my son that some people think that his mom and I are going to hell?  My son knows, in a general way, that some people might not know a family like ours and that one day someone could make fun of him about it.   However, we’ve never really explained the deeply rooted bias against LGBT people the way that we’ve gone in depth about racial discrimination.   He was so hurt and shocked when we told him that some people have “not been nice” to people of other races.   He looked as if his ever present joy had just been knocked out of him and was down for the count.   What will his face look like, and what will he dream of, if and when I tell him about the depth of bias against Mom and Mommy?

Back to number 2.  I have no sympathy for those dumb asses, they should stay in the closet.  In fact, I’d love to keep biased asses out of our schools and out of public sight so that my son can keep his joy intact forever.

Added:  

I just read an article by one of those idiots, “Exclusive: Indoctrination in Public Schools Leads to Rise in Home Schooling.”  

You know what I say in response to the title of her article:   good, I hope they all stay home so that my son will never be exposed to them. 

8 Years for 2 Lesbians . . . In Love . . . ? . . .

I know that we have a future full of more happy memories yet to be created. It started so fantastically: the night we met, the mud-puddle, playing in the park with Kelly, waking up in your apartment with the beautiful trees outside the window, staying up all night to touch and talk, being together in your tiny shower, surprising you at your going away party, traveling all night to get to our new life together and not wanting to go to sleep once we finally got here, days spent sailing on Loretta, our trip to Mexico, the day of our Civil Union, our reception, our civil rights work, all that we went through to have our son, his birth day, our public and successful family project, and all of the little moments that have been and continue to be created everyday with our son by our sides or with him in the background giggling and talking . . . all treasures of our hearts.

I Love You –

Happy 8th Anniversary

Family – This Is What it’s All About

What a great day.  We really are a great family.  Just when I thought it was all over, we have another great day.    Watermelon, flag cookies, playing in the cornfield, a bounce house, kids running and dancing and screaming, musical chairs and lots of lesbian moms.   

Late in the day the sun begins to fall behind the corn field.  The glow is pink and orange.  The air is warm with the hint of a cool breeze coming our way.  We’re tan and fit from our recent trip.   He’s in the bounce-house giggling frantically with 4 other kids. 

She’s on the balcony looking absolutely as gorgeous as the breath-taking night that I met her.  

I’m sitting in the playground fort.

We look at each other from a distance with our son giggling in the background. 

I forget all about her driving, nagging, and our fights over a million of insignificant things.  Tonight, it’s all about the good things . . . our family and our terrific son, our friends, our safe, secure, happy life built on our hard work together as a couple.  We’ve had so many good moments as a team. 

There she is looking at me with the beatiful sunset glowing off of her face in the distance.  Maybe she’s finally seeing me again . . .  really looking at me.  What a relief.  So many times I think that it’s all going to fall apart and he trusts us so much.  We are his anchor. 

Her lips move and she’s trying to tell me something but I can’t make out what she’s saying so I just smile her way.

Later she approaches me.  I’m still up in the fort and it’s not quite dark as she looks up to whisper something to me . . .

“I want a divorce.”
