Hello everyone, I was researching on Parker v Hurley in which a man was arrested because he didn’t leave his child’s school because he  said that he didn’t want to leave unless he was under arrest. When it came to the media and other Christian Right groups like Mass Resistance, he simply said he was arrested because he didn’t want his children learning that gay marriage is okay.  Now, of course there is a lot that wasn’t told in this whole thing: It was planned because there is a picture of him being lead away in handcuffs as well as footage of him speaking at a Board Meeting about the fact that books like Heather has Two Mommies and King and King were used as materials to teach kids about all kinds of families as well as the fact that two men and women are able to be married in MA. Now, the thing is I don’t see how any one learning about gay marriage in school is really detrimental since they don’t learn much about marriage unless it is being discussed as a matter of fac...

Act 1 Case: DHS v. Cole The Verdict by Spencer Hamilton on Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 9:32pm Hello All! I'm trying to come up with a catch greeting, so please leave some in the comments if you have suggestions! It is with great pleasure that I have read the unanimous opinion of the Arkansas Supreme Court as given by Associate Justice Robert Brown. Now comes the time to take this opinion apart and kind of show what the Court's findings were and legal reasoning behind it are Now, I know I have some lengthy notes but I will try and keep this as short as possible so a small outline is an order Act 1 Family Council Action Committee President Jerry Cox said that Act 1 was to 'curb a gay agenda at work in our state 'by petitioning the government via ballot to vote on a ban on unmarried cohabiting couples, hence GAY AND LESBIAN couples since AR passed Constitutional Amendment 3  in 2004.   FCAC intervened to be a party in the case, fearing that the Atty Gen w...

AR Ballot Initiative Act 1 Has Been Overturned! by Spencer Hamilton on Friday, April 8, 2011 at 12:06am The Family Scene Let me preface this by saying that if I didn't look like my Mom, I would've sworn I was adopted.I was not like my brothers and sisters, and though now we have different relationships I appreciate that my Mom, my sister Cricket and I can watch movies and talk for hours. One memory I have of my sister Cricket and I were when her and I were talking about our boyfriends and our intimates--which is not exactly a conversation I could've ever imagined having with her but we have that kind of relationship. My sister Cierra and I can talk on the phone for hours too, the difference between Cricket and Cierra is that Cricket and I hang out more than we talk on the phone. Whenever we haven't hung out in a while Cricket will ask: Okay, so when can we kidnap you? Cierra asks the same thing. Family is very important to me. I have always wanted to ha...
