decision. One thing I stand up for is Gay rights. Gay rights have a lot to do of standing up. There is many people who think gay marriage is wrong and others who think it is wrong in many ways.

kids object to this circumstance so much that they decline to call or visit their parents, speaks to right around a shift of traditional roles. The kids appear to have taken the part of parents who tell their kids that living together or sex outside of marriage isn't right.
