I'm so proud of my Dad - Supporter of same-sex marriage

[HEyHEY]

He was very proud of our local MP for saying he's voting for it and told him he'd back him 100 per cent on the issue (he's a city councillor).

My dad is an OLD SCHOOL reform party member (sort of) for years I've been telling him he's in the wrong party...maybe now...we'll see.

2. Good for your dad, HEyHEY!

.
My own dad, a gruff red-stater (but a Democrat), who's been married to my mom for 42 years supports same-sex marriage too.

He says he can't understand HOW it could affect his marriage by having same-sex marriage, and plus, people who seriously commit to each other's well-being should all have the same benefits, regardless.

Here's to having good Dads! :toast:

3. Amen!

4. My repug aunt is also a big supporter of gay marriage

It really shocked me, but she has a gay friend who has had the same partner for over 20 years.

5. My father, the Pipefitter red-neck, surprised me the other day...

...when he told me if "...queers wanna get married, hell, let 'em get married." This is the same gentle soul that spends a great deal of time doing research on-line for his fantasy NASCAR league. I wonder if he'd feel the same if I was gay.

6. Cheers to your Dad & Happy Holidays to you both!

7. What a great dad!

That's so good to hear. Congratulations to your dad for being so progressive minded on this important issue.

And maybe you can get your dad to switch parties...sounds like it's very possible. :-)
