Every time I witness one of those nauseating commercials about diamond engagement rings, I cringe--especially the one where the girl takes her boyfriend back just because he shows up at the door with a big diamond ring. Those advertisements diminish marriage and commitment. In reality, commitment is the true shining jewel of a relationship. And many same-sex relationships exemplify strong commitment. Gay couples deserve the right to marry, because gay marriage is about rights. Not rings.
Moms, we can't turn our backs on the quest for gay rights. Not this time. Not any more.
I firmly believe the right to gay marriage is inevitable and that mothers will be the kind and gentle force to help achieve that reality.
And when it happens, the naysayers can huddle in hollow discrimination--or maybe go out and buy diamond rings so they can feel better about themselves.
