I will probably get a message from the "official" moderator for this, but as a list participant I do ask in fairness for people who are not moderators please let the moderator handle it. Your messages are far more inflammatory than the topic at hand and serve no purpose but to clutter the thread. Obviously -YOU- have a problem with this thread. If you can't just suspend the ethics and morality (as I am doing) of the topic and just discuss the mechanics of the problem then please just keep your peace and inflame no more. The official moderator has posted his statement and I am getting the feeling that he just might let us talk about this issue if we can focus on the issue itself. Sadly, the legal definition of marriage is changing around the world... and other cultures with other values do genealogy as well. While I will make no bones about it I don't support same-sex marriages, what do we do when children are involved? What if you have 2 females who have children and one of them is in your bloodline? There are -REAL- issues here and we are adults. We all have the capability to discuss this as mature and reasonable adults. Perhaps the people who should be called out by the moderator are the people who try to derail the mature and reasonable discussion... as well as those who are unable to conduct a mature and reasonable discussion about the matter. My Great Grandmother was a very wise woman who always taught us that "ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away." So perhaps this is a time when we can come to the table and discuss this problem in a mature and reasonable manner. I'm off my soapbox and my sincere apologies to the moderator. I do value the advice to all who have shared good information thus far.
