This is my response to the despicable behavior displayed at the rally for traditional marriage this week. You fought dirty by using children from loving LGBT families and saying they would be damaged goods. Do you really think we are going to be quiet about that? I am a straight ally of the LGBT communty. I stand with them in their fight for human rights. I stand with them in their fight for second-parent adoption so their children are protected if something happens to the other parent. I stand with them because I know them. I know the parents and children that you defamed by your unethical use of their beautiful family pictures. You don't know them. You don't deserve to know them.
