New Hampshire Father Has One Question for the GOP

[William769]

While Republicans focus their effort to overturn marriage equality in New Hampshire, one of the state's rank-and-file Republicans is calling on them to consider his family's story.

"Members of my political party and others know me to be a conservative who believes in God, liberty and family values," wrote JP Marzullo, a vice chairman of the Contoocook Valley Republican Party, in the Concord Monitor. "What most of you do not know is that I have a gay son."

Marzullo called on fellow Republicans to consider one question while deciding whether to overturn New Hampshire's marriage equality law: "If you knew your child was gay would you disown him or her?"

The GOP doesn't appear to be answering that question the way Marzullo had hoped. Although the lawmaker who had sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage is stepping back from his proposal, the Associated Press reports he's only doing it to ensure there are no distractions from passing a repeal of the state's marriage equality law, enacted two years ago by Democrats. That repeal proposal was approved by a committee earlier this week, clearing the way for it to be voted on by the full House, followed by the Senate.

2. What a backward country this is in many ways, we've become a nation of persecutors. Each day

we fall one notch more off the ladder of being civilized. Yep, a nation of freedom and equality for all, yep, OK. Sure, we're not the worst, but we sure could be better. All of this BS gets nonsensical after awhile. I just pale for words anymore listening to the stupidity of many in this country.
