Comments:
1.) Congrats, Noreen!
2.) Welcome to Cali, Maureen.
3.) Yup, I voted NO on prop 8 just this morning. What a stupid proposition….

Great comments and great points, too!!! Maureen said it all, right there. Prop 8 should not be a part of ballot for us to vote. Of course, I voted it no today. Thank you for sharing this video. I will share this video with someone else in order to spread the word.

My, how nice to see you after all these years! I haven’t seen you since you were a new baby and your parents were my neighbors in the same building. Say hi to your parents, and to your brother and sister, too. May you all be happy, and yes, that privilege extends to both gay and straight people equally.

I wonder how your parents feel about this? I know your mother is Born-Again Christian?

Gerald;
Here is how Yates parents feel about Noreen.

To Yates family ( yes, including LMW ;] ),
This sent goosebumps everywhere on me. I wish everybody could mind their own business. At the same time, we need to expose this to a bigger audience. The more knowledge they know, the more understanding they become. This is one beautiful family. We need more people like you guys.
Best,
Tenaya

I agreed with Maureen’s comment!! I can see that Noreen and Lisa are in real love. I do not see why YES on PROP 8 against gay marriage. Congrats on your newly wedding!
