Congratulations, Bishop Robinson!
NH Gay Bishop, Partner United In Civil Union by The Associated Press
Posted: June 8, 2008 - 9:30 am ET
(Concord, New Hampshire) The Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire says the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and his partner have been united in a private civil union.
The diocese has posted a notice on its Web site saying Bishop V. Gene Robinson was legally joined to Mark Andrew in a civil ceremony Saturday. They have been partners for 20 years.
Civil unions became legal in New Hampshire this year.
The diocese says a religious service of thanksgiving followed the civil ceremony which was attended by close friends and family.


It's so nice to read some GOOD news that has happened to this brave man!

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

That's like having a "openly practicing" mobster as a cop.

Or a teacher with downs syndrome.

No. Why? But that is interesting...
Mongolism definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms
Down syndrome refers to the 19th century English physician J. Langdon Down who described the condition in 1866. In great error, Langdon Down attributed the condition to a "reversion" to the "mongoloid race." He held that evolution had been reversed and there had been a sort of backslide from the superior Caucasian to the inferior Oriental race. The misnomer "mongolism" is incorrect and racist and is to be avoided.

If "caucasian" was supposed to be the more intellectually advanced race, they sure go/went to great lengths to make sure any mistake that effects all humans is blamed on other races. Old racist Caucasian medical diagnoses are very interesting.

It's a wonder white people didn't criminalize tanning because it made White people look Black.

That wouldn't have happened this year if the white people in power hadn't f'd the government up so bad. All you have to vote for is the new Black guy, the hated White lady, and a White guy who is in the most hated political party in the country right now. We aren't voting FOR a Black guy, we are voting AGAINST all that other crap. It's almost like Obama was either set up for this, or he is lucky as hell all this fell in place for him. There is no way he would be the nominee if Bush wasn't such a dumb ass.
Because Obama not only is Black, he's a Black man with flaws a Muslim name and an admitted history with drugs. This is more than just "change", this is eerie.
