What if ????

So what if marriage equality becomes a national reality?
Will I get to have a "real son-in-law"--my son's partner?
And will I have a "real daughter-in-law" my daughter's partner? I can only hope so.
What JOY that would be!
You see, I'm just like other moms who want my children to have the happiness they deserve--plain and simple, marriage equality.
When Proposition 8 was overturned yesterday, one of the judge's rulings said "that it did nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples." You can't do that in America. Some people keep forgetting that.
I interpret those ideologies as discrimination based in ignorance. Maybe some people just hide within their conservative Christianity, so the discrimination is done for them in doctrines and beliefs, and they don't have to discern "what is inherently right" for themselves. Do you think that's an accepted hiding place?
How are the lessons learned? How does change and acceptance evolve?
Maybe the universe sends some of the answers when a homophobe is blessed with a gay or lesbian child, grandchild, niece or nephew. (My poster boy for that would be Dick Cheney).
Is that where the lessons are learned? Those brilliant, talented gay and lesbian children are sent here to teach us. I am just an ordinary mom who has been enriched and enlightened by my children, their partners and their friends.
Now I wait for marriage equality to become a reality.
So like the Beatles sang:
"Let it be, Let it be.
There will be an answer.
Let it be."
What if ?? Let's keep working toward marriage equality.
