The issue of our time

Posted

To the Editor:

I believe this is the civil rights issue of our time.

All of us should be able to marry whomever we love and enjoy the same legal rights and protections. This legislation has the support of a clear majority of Rhode Islanders. It will help create an environment of tolerance and lessen the chances of bullying directed at children of same-sex couples. In no way does such legislation threaten my 41-year marriage. When we support and strengthen these families, we support and strengthen all families. The time is now.

    The world according to Brenda...

    " I believe this is the civil rights issue of our time. " HUH?

    " In no way does such legislation threaten my 41-year marriage." SAY WHAT?

    "This legislation has the support of a clear majority of Rhode Islanders." According to what phone booth poll? They didn't call me...

    Hey Brenda, care to wager what ambulance chasers files the first law suit in this State seeking MONETARY damages? In the end, it will be all about $$$. So when you say "It doesn't threaten my 41-year marriage" I guess you are very well heeled, don't mind the pending haircut in your social security, Medicare, Medicaid, "ODUMMAcare" all of which will ration services to deal with exploding costs and paying "civii" lawsuits. Wish I had your dough Brenda, me, I'm just a working stiff that ends up paying for this spending madness and inane legislation in Washington and Providence It's all about money at the end of the day, as usual, when politicians get involved. Good luck in your future.

    So bendover(interesting handle)....selfish much? Your post is so full of ignorant nonsense, it's mind-blowing. Gay couples have legal parity with you now. Get that ego of yours in check and realize that you are no more special than anyone else.
