I work for a non profit called Free Teens USA, and we teach Relationship Intelligence, STD, and Abstinence education. I would love to share some of my information with you, or just talk to hear your point of view. Send me an e-mail! Alina That’s so funny!

Yes feel free to link to whatever you like. If you noticed by the homepage, I haven't written in the while. Have kinda gone through a dry spell and have been focused on other things. But just this week I was doing research on abstinence only education...and I think I feel another blog brewing. So check back soon and hopefully I'll have some new stuff up. Thanks for the encouragement. :) Thanks so much, Alina.

I've been skipping around reading as much as I can take in and I love it. I was raised a Christian, and still consider myself one, but often I've been to afraid what I think about issues like gay marriage. I agree with your views completely, and have never known how to word what I feel. I hope you don't mind, but I would like to post a like to this blog on my myspace. I'm deffinately going to be reading more! Stay honest! Your words are heard!

As the fifth amendment to the constitution has been interpreted, a legal spouse cannot be compelled to testify against a spouse. So as long as you are heterosexual, you can apply for this protection. I remember hearing something about this issue when Rosie O'donnel was sued. As far as I know it is still one of those "special rights" that straight people enjoy. David How about this one?

That was a great blog...Thanks for that...I totally agree with you on the marriage just being a slip of paper and having nothing to do with God...As a lesbian I definitely feel strongly about this because I am not a religious person at all and I do not want to go into a church and get married...I just want that piece of paper so that I can have the same rights as everyone else...Also a side note that I find interesting is that many of the states that allow civil unions have been shocked by how many heterosexual couples have been getting civil unions instead of getting married...I find that quite humorous Wow!
