keep up with what's new and what's next
Follow along with iReport staffers as we build a new kind of news site.
iReporters shared deeply personal and touching stories Tuesday
as gay and lesbian couples married across California. Two of those
iReporters shared similar tales.
wadeinexile,
who used to live in California,
moved to Argentina
to be with his partner in 2000. Since they could not marry,
neither could gain citizenship in the other's home country. Eight
years later, they are still together, now both legally living and
working in Germany.
BillSargent
also left the U.S.
to live with his
partner in Sweden. "Even though gay marriage isn't permitted
here, the people here are much more accepting," he said. "Until
things change in the U.S., I have no intentions of moving back or
visiting."
How is California's ruling affecting you?

Same-Sex marriage....Gay Pride Day was celebrated in my city last
weekend. My husband and I decided to take our daughter downtown for
some other activities. Truthfully, I was very uneasy about walking
past the 'Pride Day events. I feel that folks should be able to do
whatever they want in the privacy of their home or at a hotel. What
am I supposed to tell my kid about two men and or two women hugging
and kissing? I know she won't be a little kid forever but I don't
think we should be making accomodations for what is not the norm/or
majority. I think that certain organizations want it to be the
'norm' and to put it out there in the media as much as possible
then no one will be shocked anymore. The next thing to come, I
guess, we will have to update all of the health and daily living
courses at school to include 'alternative lifestyles'.
I also don't agree with gay couples adopting or surrogate parenting. I am sure I will get a lot of hits on this subject. I didn't know what 'gay' was until high school. I really wish we could go back to those days. | |

It it so sad to read postings such as yours. Your mentality is one
of the middle ages. What is surprising to me is that the so called
'third world countries" such as Mexico, Argentina, Brasil, have
accepte and included the same sex idea in their legal system. It is
not and acceptance thing , people dont have to accept the life
style if they dont want to , that is life, but is a matter of
rights. I dont want people,s approval to how I live my life I just
want the laws to give me my rights.
The days of not knowing what gay was where never here, that what your situation, your personal situation. This has always being part of these world since the beginning of time, very well documented thru history. My God even in nature we have plenty of examples, talk about those nasty pinguins. We are all entitle to our opinions based on our ethics and upbringing, but to impose those on other just because they were born different is flat out WRONG...... | |

Growing up, we are all taught that we will be loved by our parents
no matter what we do, until we drop the bomb: I'm a homosexual.
This constant denying of what people are and how they aren't
accepted creates a huge divide in our country, quite similar to the
one of race. Gay marriage is perfectly fine and those that are
afraid or don't like it, are those that are scared of it. Scared
because they aren't secure with themselves and their sexuality. If
two humans want to be married, which the last time I checked we all
have the freedom of choice, then so be it. If their marriage in
some way affects you negatively, perhaps you should take the time
to think about what you stand for, not your religion. The fact that
people view homosexuals as some sort of "alien" is ridiculous, this
is the 21st century, grow up! You don't have to like their
lifestyle or their life choices, but they have to deal with the
same issues as heterosexuals and then some. Homosexuals don't
CHOOSE to be gay, they are born that way. The biggest misconception
about homosexuals is that they chose to be gay, they chose to be
discriminated against and denied marriage to the one they love and
that they chose to be the targets of hate crimes. This kind of
intolerance is what led to that middle school child being killed.
Why? His parents constantly told him that it's a bad thing to be
homosexual and it is morally wrong. If people can't live in the
United States, where we are viewed as the land of the Free by
others, than I don't know what else to say. Right winged,
self-righteous people need to get over themselves and realize that
the world does not revolve around them or their values.
