  A reply on Conversation: New Zealand legalizing same sex marriage, and gay adoption.

  Jul 3 2012: You have a point there. Thing is, more than one thing can be 'protested' for at a time, and it does have to change. And it really is a problem. Personally, I think we're all sane adults capable of multi-tasking, it's not like one can't support two things at once.

  Jul 2 2012: They do own 'the place.' It's their world too and they have every right to try to confront injustice.
  If you don't like it, stay inside.
  Besides, its not like they do it every day.
  
  Any better reasons?

  Jul 1 2012: I know. If I was lesbian, though, it would be nice to be able to put a proper ring on my partner's finger and say 'oh yeah, we're married', instead of just, 'oh yeah, we're in a civil union.' you know? It's what we're all brought up to want, to dream about - that proposal - and I don't think it's fair that somedon't get the full, legal fulfillment of that dream, don't you?
  
  I know, I heard about those!!! And the poll results - that was nice to read, eh. :)

  Jul 1 2012: Thank you for your support! :)
  
  I know. I just wish people would stop being so damn scared of what they don't understand and just watch, research and try to put themselves in other's shoes before they opened their mouths. They cause so much pain, I don;t think people realize.
  
  Well, thanks! I'll take the credit for the apple companies....despite the fact I had nothing to do with it...XD
