We are redefining things. Every person in this forum who believes in equal rights for all has the ability to influence other people in their lives by their actions and words. As time goes on, more and more people will be influenced. We are seeing it now. The world we live in is vastly different than it was fifty years ago, in regard to this matter. It seems like we are making tiny advances to us, but in the grand scheme of things, we are making leaps and bounds. However, as a society, we are not at the point where gay adoption and straight adoption are the same issue. I wish I could say otherwise, but I cannot.
