		<description>@ Jaxxy:

Well said. And pretty much accurate.

I ask only that when you welcome the &quot;USA&quot; to the civilized world, that your definition of &quot;USA&quot; be the wealthy members of our Government and owners of big business -- two obnoxious groups that have made government big business and who could care less what we citizens of the USA want or need. Our Government, for the most part, cares only about the big companies who are putting 100s of 1,000s of dollars in their pockets. Big business is putting all that money into the pockets of the Government leeches, so they will continue to rule with the benefit of big business being their only priority.

I, for one, wish we citizens could rid ourselves of our greedy politicians and somehow manage to install a government like Canada&#039;s -- a government that is truly a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Yeah, that&#039;ll happen!!?!??!

If you want to know what this country&#039;s citizens are truly fighting, watch MSNBC -- Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann. Believe me, they are not appreciated by the right-wing in our society.

Example of Right Wing: You have six people, one wealthy right wing, five middle/lower class. You have six pieces of the pie. Wealthy (ruling) right wing says: I&#039;m taking five pieces of the pie. You other five can split the remaining piece.

America&#039;s Democratic Government has morphed into a Capitalistic Government -- the wealthy (1%) rule, through outright buying government officials, and very healthy &quot;contributions&quot; to their campaign coffers.</description>

		<description>@ Lisa:

Thank you. Your article was well-written and written with an uncommon sensitivity to these kinds of issues -- issues which so many of the &quot;straight population&quot; fail to recognize.

If you&#039;re gay, you accomplished writing an informative article without using an &quot;in your face&quot; style of reporting.

If you&#039;re straight, you demonstrate a vital understanding of the prejudice and discrimination involved in the case of the &quot;Sisters.&quot;

In my heart, I&#039;m hoping you&#039;re straight -- because the straight community seems to listen to these kinds of issues with a more open heart than if they&#039;re listening to gays espousing the &quot;gay agenda.&quot;</description>

		<description>I would like to second Dr Ian&#039;s sentiments.  You are a credit to this site!  I am sickened to read about these two women and what was done to them and their family.  As a Canadian it&#039;s just unfathomable to us here that this type of shit happens everyday in the US and only now is something being done about it.  Good Gawd.  I can never understand how the US is regarded as a world leader when it does so little and takes so long to protect it&#039;s most vulnerable citizens.  In 2009 it is finally not ok to beat the crap out of a young gay lad or bash a black kid or a hispanic kid cause he &#039;aint white&#039;.  Wow.  Welcome to the civilized world USA!!!</description>

		<description>Great story.  I have a side &quot;business&quot; in real estate and have been in dozens of transactions.  I&#039;ve never had an issue wether buying with my husband or as myself.  I&#039;ve always fealt &quot;our money is as green as the next couple&#039;s&quot;.  (when selling we simply have an advantage and I have no issue leveraging it:  straights in the know buy from us fags because our properties are gorgeous...never, ever would we sell something not ready for the pages of AD or House&amp;Garden) We&#039;ve had mortgages together for over 20 years, well before we were legally married, and never, never had an issue.

but of course that is not always the case, and we&#039;ve never rented which I&#039;m sure could be more difficult.

I do wonder, however, why the discrimination against unmarried straight couples?  Is the rule written to make it easy to not let gay couples in or do they have some christian aversion to non married straight couples too?

Both are discrimination and should not be allowed under programs I fund through my taxes!

Thanks Lisa for bringing this to our attnetion.</description>
