Comments on: Egg Roll!! http://www.lathefamily.org/2006/04/egg-roll.shtml An unconventional family in a conventional world, taking notes Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:17:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brianna http://www.lathefamily.org/2006/04/egg-roll.shtml/comment-page-1#comment-1445 Brianna Fri, 28 Apr 2006 15:18:00 +0000 http://www.lathefamily.org/blog/?p=1012#comment-1445 Trey, I've been reading your weblog on and off for a few years ago, but I had to comment on this entry because it made me cry my eyes out: with joy at the beauty of your family and of this event, and with sorrow at the sight of the protesters etc. My husband and I would have been one of the couples asking for leis to wear in solidarity if we had been there with you. I live in the most liberal part of Canada and GLBT families are much less of "an issue" here, although we have a long ways to go as well; I'm always a little shocked and saddened when I realize that families like yours are still forced to politicize and be politicized so often. I pray for the day when that will no longer be neccessary. PS: I want a pink poncho too.

Thanks for sharing. I actually teared up when Emma got the courage to go see Leoni up close and personal. That was so cute. :) I hate Caillou too. His voice is so irritating. I hope our future children don't like him. LOL Great pictures and great story. Thanks for sharing. I actually teared up when Emma got the courage to go see Leoni up close and personal.

It looks like Emma had a wonderful time! I also think Bill is out there on what he thinks this created for other families. I don't need to explain homosexual sex to my children to explain that two same sex people can be in a loving relationship and create a family. Thanks for letting us know how things went.

Living in DC, we opted out since we always avoid the more touristy things. However, I'm glad you were able to partake. It was great to see all the families, just like us, becoming part of national traditions. Hope you enjoyed the city! You should have let us know you were coming!

You guys rock. Thanks for the report. So proud that you'd take Emma for egg rolling at the White House, which really is all that it was about. Yea! You guys rock. Thanks for the report.

I like the animation though. The Helen Oxenbury look rocks. It’s the mother’s voice that gets me on that show. I like the animation though. The Helen Oxenbury look rocks.

It does show fun experiences in a child's eye view, just the kid's whining is annoying.

And why do so many parents hate Calliou so much? I've never seen that show, but this is not the first time I have heard a parent express utter disgust with this character, although their kids love the show. Beautiful kid, thanks so much for sharing this experience with us. I long for the day when the whole "gay parenting" bs is off the table and we can focus on what's really important: where can I get a pink poncho and white bubbles for my hair, and why does everyone hate Calliou?
