The daughter of Houston Mayor Annise Parker was briefly denied the chance to take a driving test this week because her birth certificate and other documentation indicated she has two mothers, the mayor said..

Parker, who married her longtime partner, Kathy Hubbard, in California this year and remains a rarity as an openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city, complained on her Twitter account on Friday.

Apparently residency was the issue not parents.....

In this case, the adult applicant did not initially present sufficient documentation
to prove residency. Once she provided the required documentation, she was
able to complete the transaction.

Well the girls appear to be black so even though they could belong to the eggs of one of the women, they probably don’t.

That’s appalling. The Founding Fathers would weep to see how we’ve squandered the franchise they bled to give us.

It also underscores the importance of get out the vote campaigns. Every single one counts. The final sin of the many Romney committed was abandoning his GOTV efforts on Election Day. He believed the “un-skewed polls” lie and figured since he had it in the bag he needn’t bother with the bothersome work.

Every vote counts. Every single one.

Yup.

We could only hope that the freak that they might create will be sterile or have genetic abnormalities and won’t live. What worries me are the freaks that survive.

If it does survive, it should be treated as a freak as any of its future offspring might have severe genetic abnormalities that may not be discovered until many generations later.

The point here is that we simply don’t know with absolute certainty that a manufactured child will be normal.

This same rule applies to when parents are able to pick and chose their children characteristics and personality through genetic manipulation.

And this is not like selective breeding. Selective breeding is done within the constraints of nature. Gene splicing and manipulation is outside the constraints of nature and has huge risks.

These people are shameless. They use every opportunity to blame discrimination when nothing occurred here except incorrect paperwork. She needs to be recalled or at least censured.

On 16 January 2014, Parker married her wife Kathy Hubbard in Palm Springs, CA. They
have been together since 1990. The couple lives in Houston with their two adopted
daughters and foster son.

Half of them probably said “My vote doesn’t count anyway, I’m just one vote”.

You’re probably right.

But they were wrong. Every single vote counts.
