I have been trying to figure out a way to do research on gay and lesbian couples and their wishes for having children. Unfortunately, I don't know many gay and lesbians. This past weekend I asked a table of guys and girls if there were any gays or lesbians in the group and explained why I asked (I was in New Orleans). I told them I was doing research for my blog. One of the guys at the table gave me his wife's email address because she is an attorney and had just completed a gay adoption. Of course they were form the north. I can do research on the Internet but it does not seem to mean as much to me. I would rather talk with an individual and see how they feel about the issue. I plan on contacting the attorney via email, but have not done this yet. I guess we took a step back this week since California banned gay marriage. Really what is the big deal??? Aren't we over it. I don't seem to understand why people can't face reality, there are gay people. I do not think this is going to change anytime soon. I know that I am laid back, but who cares if someone chooses to be gay. According to a March 2006 Pew Research Center poll, 46 percent of Americans support gay and lesbian adoption, up from 38 percent in 1999, www.cnn.com. This is a pretty large number. If the American people support gay adoption then whey don't they support gay marriage? This is a cute ad for gay adoption, check it out!!!
