There is an article in Harper’s September issue called Straight Man’s Burden<\/em> by Jeff Sharlet that speaks about Uganda and the anti-gay persecutions going on. In a country not too far away, in Spain it is legal for all to be married, not just heterosexuals. I was trying to explain to two friends the other day what the Family<\/a> is all about and what they are doing in Uganda and they listened with mouths agape. Is this possible?<\/em> Yes, every fringe group needs an enemy to rail against and the Family has decided that is gays so they have funded a political climate that is ordering death to homosexuals. Lovely, eh? Our friend staying with us from Spain is allowed to marry his boyfriend and adopt a child – he was recently on TV with his actor-boyfriend for an AIDS awareness ad<\/a> (they are the gay kiss you will see here that even in modern Spain gets noticed and not always in a positive way).<\/p>\n

Another friend here in New Orleans is putting together an art exhibit called Your Mom and Dem and wants to take a photograph of us (me, Tatjana and Tin) as an example of family. It’s interesting that this hate group has named themselves Family almost in an ironic call out to denounce our familiar understanding of the word. The Family. I was going to submit a photograph of my family with annotations for the exhibit but in the end decided not to – the quips by each photograph were funny, but sort of tragic and so I opted to not participate.<\/p>\n

Our Family foments love.<\/p>\n
