My daughter and I were in Manhattan over this weekend so I could do some research at the Met. Waves of people were coming into the city for Sunday’s big gay-pride march, where they could celebrate the Empire State’s new same-sex-marriage law. We sat behind some of them on the train, three young women with a precious, excited toddler girl in tow. The very evident leader of the clan was the patriarch. Adorned as if she might be an actor portraying a hip-hop teen from Cleveland, she had her meticulous corn-rows tucked under a backwards navy-blue flat-billed ballcap, a matching wife beater revealing a mural of tats on her arms, shoulders, and back. Baggy jeans rode low, leading to her construction boots with untied laces dangling free.
She was the only one of the adult threesome that interacted with the child, mindlessly uttering reassuring words like “Daddy will be right back” or “Sit over here by Daddy.”
You see, this is one of the things that most concerns me about the legal institutionalization of genderless marriage and parenting. We are told that nothing will really change with such laws; people who really love each other will just be able to enter really meaningful, legally protected relationships.
But, to use the language of our women’s-studies scholars, such a turn “does violence” to our concept of sex difference. They would have us believe that their way of looking at the world transcends the “narrow” confines of socially constructed gender difference, but these very folks end up playing to those very confines, usually in comically stereotypical ways. Think drag queen in her everyday clothes, like our Urban Outfitters dad on the train.
And while this adorable little girl on the train got to call one of her parents “Daddy,” did she really have a daddy? Well, her DNA would prove that she does somewhere, but in reality she only has a woman playing make-believe daddy, and like make-believe games, it’s all about the world this woman has created in her mind for her own imaginary fun and games. One problem: There’s a little toddler as one of the props.
Gender does matter for marriage, the family, and society, and those trying to teach us that it doesn’t can’t help but default to the very thing they are trying to overthrow.
This is the primary fallacy of the legislation New York just passed — not in theory, but in the reality of this little girl and her “daddy” on the train at Penn Station.
Yeah. True. Not all fat girls are lesbians and not all lesbians are fat girls. But it is absolutely true that some fat girls are lesbian. If that is too much to swallow consider, some fat girls are heterosexual.
Whether same-sex marriages with full parental rights becomes the law of the land, no lesbian should ever be able to wear the mantle of ‘daddy’.
with gay men, there's usually a dysfunctional relationship with their mothers.
Interesting, I was thinking 180 degrees from that assessment.
Last week, we purchased an used vehicle from an Illinois homosexual union couple. Right. Both men had their names on the title. Anyway, we finished business over coffee in their living room. Each "partner" directed our attention to a beautiful portrait of their mother upon the wall. Nothing father openly displayed in the home.
Nice people. Clean. Probably would be great neighbors. Watch my grandchildren? No way.

Most lesbos I know are RABID feminists.
What do you think two manhaters constantly lecturing this poor boy about the evils of men are doing to his psyche?
But you can’t tell a know-it-all anything. :(
Wonder no more. Yes and Yes.
Thanks. I'll be around to answer any more questions on sexual deviancy ya’ll may have until 4:30 at which time I'll get a life
Some here on FR actually think that marrying your first cousin is perfectly acceptable conservative behavior. I'm series.
“Firstly, “sows” is more descriptive than “heifers”.”
Lets just settle on “COWS” and be done with it;-)
Wow! That is sooooo inclusive of you.
(barf)
It's tempting to think that there is still a real America someplace else, someplace where this could not happen. (The Midwest? The South?) But thanks to modern communication conrolled by a relatively small elite, we have an increasingly homogeneous (no pun intended) culture now in which every schoolchild knows that (s)he must respond to scenes like this with the mantra, "Who are we to judge?"
Heterosexual pride depends on which woman you get to insert yourself into.
She went by ‘Daddy’.
Sigh.......
Well then, I hereby announce my new moniker to be Padishah Emperor Muad’ib Atreides the First, Ruler of Terra and Arrakis, Controller of the Spice, Chairman of CHOAM, the Kwisatz Haderach and the Mahdi of the Known Universe.
Now say, “All hail !”, and swear alliegiance to me on your Orange Catholic Bible.
Isn’t imagination great ?!
Greetings cowbyway:
LOL. The offer of fresh, hand ground coffee, sparkling china service; we were naturally curious, in a Ripley’s Museum sort of way.

Why do lesbians use simulated penises? Why not opt for the real thing?
Fibromyalgia is a real condition, of which I have been diagnosed. The pain is real. I even feel pain at loud noises. Plus, not all of us are disabled or gay.
I realize that fibromyalgia is a real condition and I am sorry to learn that you suffer from it.
However, there are a LOT of losers out there who fake their way to this diagnosis just to get a disability rating. As usual, they make it bad for those who really have the condition.
You wrote,”Heterosexual pride depends on which woman you get to insert yourself into.”
Insertion can be used to identify a gay v. straight.
Preference of anus or vagina.
Honestly, it’s pretty clear that the kid’s upbringing has done him no favors. I mean when a very left wing dad has to defend the U.S. to his son, we’re in the Twilight Zone.
We were at a dinner event one time, and a couple of us at the table suggested that if the kid wanted to go to a top college, he should apply to a service academy (the parents are not that well off). If you get in the tuition is free after all, and you can’t beat that deal. The kid was utterly aghast, and started ranting about the Evil USA. His dad, the lefty, had to calm him down and defend the US. I just kept my trap shut since it would not have gone well if I had lit into the kid for being a clueless, ungrateful little twit.
“Why do lesbians use simulated penises? Why not opt for the real thing?”
Cause their lesbian partners aren’t so equipped?
That’s hugh! My beeber is completely stuned.
Teach us the Weirding Way and you may have a deal.
