It's my first entry in a blog. Yay. (Sarcasm abounds). I've been trying to avoid blogs for a good while now, but there is something important going on today that I just could not let pass without recognition.

I ran across this site while browsing the internet: www.colage.org. Sounds like a great resource, I wish that it had been around when I was younger.

But, then again I never had any problems with my family (rather, with what other people thought of my family). It's tradition. I'm second generation queerspawn. My grandfather (paternal, lol) and his partner adopted my daddy, and then my daddy and papa had me with the help of my mother (RIP). I think I've had more problems because I'm disabled rather than from my parents being gay.

I'm incredibly proud of my heritage, and I think all kids raised like me should be as well.

As more legislation is passed in the US to prohibit deserving prospective parents from adopting because of their sexual orientation, it is imparative that more queerspawn step up to the soapbox and voice their experiences.

I'll be short and sweet about my experience. Although I was born with significant physical disabilities, my parents never treated me differently, always pushed me to do my very best, and loved me unconditionally. In my life, it is a simple footnote that my parents happen to be gay.

I just hope one day I can return the millions of favors they have done for me and all the time and effort they spent to get me to where I am today. But knowing the type of guys they are, they would probably tell me that it was all their pleasure.
