"Gays invited to take part in annual Easter Egg Roll
WASHINGTON - The White House is allocating tickets for the upcoming Easter Egg Roll to gay and lesbian parents as part of the Obama administration's outreach to diverse communities.
Families say the gesture shows that the new administration values them as equal to other families. And for many, being included in the annual tradition - dating to 1878 - renews hope that they will have more support in their quest for equal rights in matters such as marriage and adoption than under the previous administration....
It's not the first time gay and lesbian-headed families will participate. In 2006 during the Bush administration, more than 100 gay parents attended the egg roll in part to make the statement that they should be welcome. Some conservatives accused gays and lesbians of trying to "crash" the event and turn it into forum for ideological politicking.
This year already feels different, said Colleen Gillespie of Brooklyn.
"We feel so welcomed and embraced, and that in a very real way, I think we can just go as a family and enjoy it," said the 42-year-old assistant professor at New York University's school of medicine, who is attending with her wife and their daughters.
Somehow I just can't get used to that or "his husband," but WHO CARES!!

And before I get charged with being some sort of bigot for opposing the wishes of the divisive, globalist agenda-pushers, reflect upon this..."The Role of Feminism in the New World Order"
"What do factory workers, women, blacks and homosexuals in Western societies have in common? They all used to have reasons to feel discriminated against. What else do they have in common? Their grievances have been addressed and largely resolved as the result of intense pressure by mostly Jewish intellectuals, media and liberal politicians. Shouldn’t we all be grateful for their effort? Isn’t it proof that Jews are actually making this world a better place? Of course there is nothing wrong with addressing legitimate grievances of parts of society who are unfairly discriminated against. Factory workers shouldn’t be exploited and worked to death. Women and blacks shouldn’t be refused equal rights because of gender or colour of skin. And homosexuals shouldn’t have to fear being bashed for being homosexuals.
One of the most difficult things to get our heads around though is the fact that the driving forces behind fixing those grievances did so for all the wrong reasons. The same masterminds and their puppets who pretended to care so much about the plight of the disadvantaged had no qualms about bringing death and misery upon them for their selfish financial and political gains. What they really were interested in is dividing society and turning us against each other like roosters in a cockfight..... --more--"
I am MORE THAN WILLING to meet halfway! I'm not happy about it, as my state has signed off on gay marriage; however, I ACCEPT IT! As a wiser man than me once said:
"The issue would revert to the states, where it constitutionally belongs.... anyone expecting perfection in this world is going to be consistently disappointed.... "
There are so may other issues to worry about; why is this making my divisive, Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing War Daili... oh, never mind.
The AGENDA continues to be advanced....

Meanwhile, meet the last New England hold-out:
"R.I. governor denounces gay marriage
Governor Don Carcieri is denouncing gay marriage as state legislators prepare to consider the issue. Carcieri called himself a "traditionalist" yesterday as he joined the state chapter of the National Organization for Marriage, which announced a new advertising campaign in support of marriage between a man and a woman. Carcieri and his wife, Sue, said they were speaking out because they believed the best upbringing for a child is in a home with a mother and a father. Carcieri also said he is not antigay and that the issue should be decided by voters and not by courts or legislators. A bill under consideration by the General Assembly would let a same-sex couple married in another state get divorced in Rhode Island (AP)."
