White House Letter: At the Easter egg roll, focus on a family issue
New York Times via International Herald Tribune ^ | 04/09/2006 | Elisabeth Bumiller

It had to happen: Washington's culture wars have now reached the Easter Bunny.

Next Monday, some 200 gay families are planning to attend the annual White House Easter Egg Roll to showcase themselves to the nation and President George W. Bush. But some religious conservatives say the families are "crashing" the public event and exploiting children for political ends.

Why not a bunch of illegal alien families?

I think you're on the wrong thread. This one is about gay families. Contrary to popular belief, not every thread is about illegal immigration.

If any of these bozos gain entry, the WH staff ought to confiscate those "rainbow leis" at the gate. No political statements via clothing at a the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Personally, as long as the nation is at war, I think they ought to give those egg roll passes to military families who want to attend.

Here we go again. The Queer lobby is trying to destroy another family tradition. Have there been 'gay' families before? Sure, probably. Did they hold press conferences about it? No.

This is less about parents giving a crap about their adopted children than about politic war against the government and the Bush White House. What kind of parents would you be if you inserted your your children into a political stunt like this? Answer: Bad parents. Bad "Gay" Parents.

For all their cries for respect they never give a moments thought to anyone else. Here we have toddlers spending their Easter eyeing homosexual "couples" pretending to be families. Who will explain this to those inquisitive tots? In the name of privacy we are allowing our smallest children's minds to be shaped without a moral sense and desensitized to an appalling sin.

I think they should limit it to one parent or guardian with the child. That way families won't be stuck taking their toddlers to a homosexual event just because they take them to the WH Easter Egg Hunt.

Next year, just don't have the event. We can't even do anything together any more because our values are too far apart.

Again, the only question needed to be asked is are you the same or are you different?

. . . "gay" "families" . . .

Families??? That's some very sick stuff there, calling a diseased bevy of twisted perverts a "family." As if they could beget generations of children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on.

It's almost too sick to contemplate, but if they can indeed be called a family, what does a poor, unfortunate adopted "grandchild" of a couple of those sickos call his perverted "grandparents?" Surely not grandma and grandpa. Instead it must be something like grandfaggy1 and grandfaggy2?

I had two grandfathers... Granted they were from two heterosexual sets of grandparents, but I used their last names to differentiate. My kids have the same thing -- one grandfather is "Grandpa" the other is "Granddad."

I'm sure that grandchildren of gay grandparents can come up with similar methods.

To choose names either my kids use or my wife and her sisters used, Granddad, Grandpa, Papi, and Pee-Pa. And there are a lot more options out there.

At what time in the history of the human race have two homosexuals been able to procreate with each other?

It is physically impossible for gays to have children "of their own" without some third-party assistance.

I live in the DC area and I wouldn't attend one of the White House Easter Egg Rolls if you paid me!

Too many of the parents who attend are completely self-focused and will gleefully run right over you and your kids as if they were storming a The Who concert. It has nothing to do with the kids, it's all about them.

The fudge-packers are the most self-obsessed group on the planet. Their covert mission to rub themselves in everyone's faces means this year's event will just be worse than usual.

I'll pass!

Adoption attorneys don't care if you are both aliens from Mars as long as you have the money and its legal in the state.
