Taiwanese Bride Opts For Same-Sex Marriage To Herself

A Taiwanese bride, bemoaning the lack of men, opts to marry a person of the same sex -- herself. And I salute her!  Ever since the definition of marriage based on biology was traded-in for  "the right to be me", I've been in favour of the right to marry oneself. Shouldn't, e.g., an asexual person, a person with no sexual attractions, have the same access to marriage as anyone else? Didn't we decide that all sexual orientations, not just state-or Church- or society-approved ones, are equal?  My world includes the right to marry yourself, and if you don't agree with me you this means you are a hateful bigot; stop trying to impose your values on others.

(Un)Happy Seed Provider's Day, Dad

A fresh article by Barbara Kay: Happy Seed Provider’s Day, Dad.

We used to call the man and woman who conceived us "father" and "mother"; they were also known, with rare exception, as "husband" and "wife".  No longer. In Ontario, it's now Parent A and Parent B.

Liberals have been cheer-leading and enabling this decline all the way.  As someone recently said, adult rights come first, and children are just going to have to get by on what we give them.

This is not the way God intended. Consider this: "Honor your father and mother".  For far too many children, they long for nothing more than to be able to do just that.

It's not right.

And that's the way the traditional-marriage, traditional parenting Ball bounces.
