My politics

Emilin & Brooke from Name That Mama just had their baby. I only stumbled across their blog a few weeks ago but immediately subscribed after reading a few entries. I've been reading the countdown to the end of the pregnancy eagerly, and was so excited to see the post a couple of days ago with pictures.

Unfortunately, some assmunch got nasty in the comments:

I pity people like you, you'll never have real families, but unfortunately this child will not have one, either.

And if that weren't bad enough, she threw in some personal attacks:

I swear, I think I'll see pigs fly before I'll see a homosexual woman that looks decent enough for any self-respecting man to be interested in her.

People like this commenter are one of two reasons that given the choice between the two major political parties in the US today, I am a fierce liberal. Tax the hell out of me, I can handle it, but don't you dare try to tell me that someone else is not my equal because they choose to have romantic relationships with someone of their own gender.

And the worst part is that it wasn't a random post, but the post where they posted pics of their new daughter! I can't even conceive of someone doing such a thing on my "she's here" post, a result of my own hetero privilege that I can assume I won't be attacked - at least not for that.

AGHH. It just makes me so angry.

That's pretty evil. Trolls are stupid, regardless of their politics, but right-wing trolls seem stupider than most.

Thank you for the information on a new and interesting blog. I'll check it out and add my support and congratulations for them as well.

The comments from that unhappy and unpleasant person will hopefully be deleted before I get there. What a sad existence that commenter must have. Imagine the pitiful life that would allow someone to be so mean to other human beings, especially on a personal blog celebrating the arrival of a newborn. Truly pitiful.

I get so frustrated with that kind of craziness too. To think that there are people out there who feel some type of moral/religious obligation to trash someone on one of their happiest occasions is just crap.

I've been reading your blog for a few weeks since I've been home on maternity leave with my daughter. Keep up the good work!

Wow, why did you have to point me towards that? Now I'm angry and shaking and my mind is reeling with all the ways I could verbally bitchsmack that woman should I ever have the displeasure of meeting her. It's bad enough to be an ignorant bigot, but to use the most joyous occasion in a person's life as an opportunity to vomit all over her happiness is beyond the pale. On the bright side, thanks for pointing me towards another blog worth reading.

Totally agree. Unfortunatley people are afraid of what they don't understand. Hatred comes from the unloved. It's sad that an obviously insecure woman spewed insults at a secure, happy family. I feel more pity for people like that than anger.

Second, Mom 101. Thanks for introducing me to a new blog!

How downright horrible. We have tried very hard to raise our girls free from bigotry like this. I was very proud the other day when my youngest proclaimed that "everyone is normal, we're just all different".

Love makes a family
Love is about 2 souls, not 2 sets of genitals
Love is love
It's a blessing however it presents itself in our lives
