Baseball, soccer, gay-marriage rally: one Denver nine-year-old's Saturday schedule If a nine year old gets it, it seems like maybe it shouldn't be so complicated for adults. Then again, kids are often smarter.

I am both eagerly awaiting and dreading the Supreme Court's decision.

moved to tears -- thanking for sharing this! I'll try to remember to show it to MY 9yr-old boy when he gets home from school today!!

We are friends with several gay couples who still are not guaranteed their civil rights here in Maryland. I hear DC is taking some positive steps forward... and I hope Maryland will also move forward soon.

that's a great articles...and at least gives me some hope that one day there will be a generation of people for whom this WON'T be an issue.

I have to admit, his comment about the Senator giving him the run around made me lol. That's what they do, kid, that's what they do...

I wouldn't have minded having kids had they turned out like this guy. What an amazing kid, with equally amazing parents and an understanding teacher.

Thanks for the link!
What an amazing child. I doubt (in a good way) the world has seen the last of him.

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! I hope we haven't seen the last of him. :D
