Drew Barrymore: 'What Defines a Family? We Do!' (at Prop 8 Rally Last Night in West Hollywood)
National Review Magazine ^ | 05/27 10:08 AM | [Maggie Gallagher]

Posted on 05/27/2009 10:03:22 AM PDT by lewisglad

This CBS News story is a snapshot of where the gay-marriage debate is taking us.

At a rally in West Hollywood, Drew Barrymore revived the old narrative that family structure doesn't matter:

"Children need families, people need to love and we need to move forward, not backward," Barrymore said. "What defines a family? We do!"

A rabbi calls the idea that marriage means a husband and wife "religious bigotry," i.e., not religious liberty.

The headline of the story is Ted Olson's decision to help bring a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Prop 8. I'm not sure the Human Rights Campaign is pleased.

Watch and see whether, after the publicity and the fundraising, this lawsuit disappears. (Is Anthony Kennedy really the fifth vote for a national constitutional right to gay marriage?)

Support for Prop 8 has also grown over the last few months: "A poll of 600 California voters by CBS Station KPIX said 56 percent agree with the Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8."

This is the person who should be making my moral decisions?

That’s worth a smile... I often do that when something preposterous is suggested.

I used to support gay marriage to be honest but since I saw how intolerant they are I have changed my mind.
I guess I supported it to be PC ,but to be honest I am happy to see prop 8 upheld by the court

“Children need families, people need to love and we need to move forward, not backward,” Barrymore said.

She sure doesn’t look like Drew Barrymore and what is that skyblue eyeshadow underneath her eyes. The last time I saw something that wierd was a neighbor who thought she was a witch had drawn rectangles in black over her eyes and filled them in with white.

California already gives every right and privilege IT (as a state) possibly can give to civil-union couples, EXCEPT the term “Marriage.”

In California, at least (unlike Florida, Arkansas, etc.), this fight is ALL about nomenclature.

Is Drew Barrymore a ‘Stonecutter’?

Oh Drew, sky blue eyeshadow is tacky no matter where you put it.

So says a 13-year old cokehead who came from a line of alcoholics. Yep, her family is one to talk of normality.

Have to wonder what adults gave her that cocaine as a child.

Wrong, Drew - God defined the family.

Maybe the question should be WHO, not What, defines a Family.

when do children get to consent to be raised in an alternative lifestyle household?

Also, something that is being masked by the Left. There ARE civil unions in California for persons of the same sex who want to establish a legally protected coupling.

Yes, Drew flashed Letterman on his birthday during the Letterman show.

Later he interviewed one of her costars (the guy who played Robin) and mentioned Drew; he said “So...have you ever seen her...”

Cut off with an abrupt “Oh yes!”

Dave looked disappointed, like he thought he was the only one.

And OF COURSE Drew thinks marriages meaning should be diluted. She seems to “marry” anybody she dates longer than a week.

Well, if they can “be married”, then they can legally adopt kids. A pedophiles wet dream.
