(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
In addition, they do not want marriage defined as between and man and a woman who have taken vows. Michael Schiavo has turned his marriage vows on their head through claiming that Terri is his wife so that he can finally put her to death while living with what would be called a "common law wife" in many states. The broad acceptance in the media of this concept during this crisis gives the gay community hope that their unions will also gain new acceptance in the courts after this event. In other words, I believe they think this aspect of Terri's death will help them achieve their goals..Unfortunately, many on the left are very willing to see people die to achieve their goals. That is what their heroes did..Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc. My sister is a lesbian who is rearing a child..However, she hates the activism of this community in this aspect. She is very upset and troubled over Terri Schiavo because she does not believe Terri was in a vegetative state but more than that, she believes Terri's right to due process was blocked by Judge Greer..She has been an ICU nurse for 25+ years and is currently a home health nurse with patients very much like Terri who are concerned now for their lives.
Who would have thought the feminists would have found a man they could love. And that man is Michael Schaivo.
