Another mother for gay marriage

My 87-year-old mother, who suffers from dementia, lives with me now. Every day is like ground hog day, but she still has her common sense and logic and will often amaze me with her opinions on things.
A few weeks ago she was reading the newspaper--mainly to figure out what month, day and year it was--and she saw a story about a lesbian couple getting married in Washington, D.C. "I think people should marry whoever they want to," she said. I looked up a little surprised and said, "You're absolutely right."
I know that opinion doesn't come from the fact that my kids are gay. She forgets that, and I have to remind her regularly. Then she always says, "That's right, you have a lot of that in your family." She forgets everything about her other 30 grandkids, too.
I've never discussed same-sex marriage with her and she has no idea that I blog about it (or what a blog is), so a seed was never planted in her Irish-Catholic, novena-saying, Rosary-reciting self.
So, for now, I'm considering her as another "mother for gay marriage." You're never too old or too forgetful to have an honest opinion.
