Worry about the single mothers that have to go to the Food Bank to feed her children despite the fact that she works two steady jobs. Worry about the kids in the third grade that wince when they sit down because of their fathers belt. Worry about the fifteen year old kid that in held up in my brothers' room because the Youth Emergency Shelter is full and he has no place to go. Worry about the hooker that had to be chipped out of the snow, less than three weeks ago. Worry about the grandparents that are getting abused in retirement homes. With all these issues that need their worry people are more concerned about two people wanting to profess their love in front of their families. I have a sneaking suspicion that if the glbt community was afforded the rights that the average straight person is afforded they might respect the sanctity of marriage more than that sad straight person. Because for so long they weren't lucky enough to considered human.
