What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

One of my kids recently decided to move. She and her boyfriend found an apartment to rent and went to see the owner about it. Dogs?  Okay.  Cats?  That too was fine. BUT…”You two aren’t married…I have a problem renting to people who are not married. What if you break up?”  This after they have been together close to 8 years.

Then my daughter finds out this guy is gay.  How dare him be that insensitive toward a couple living outside of matrimony. He and his partner are as well. What gives him the right to judge? It is backward discrimination. He, of all people, should have a more open mind about people living together who are committed to each other.

It is time all discrimination end. Discrimination against gays. Discrimination against lesbians. Discrimination against blacks and Hispanics and Jews and even two white kids who decide to live together rather than get married.

So Mr. Landlord, if you want your freedoms in Texas…if you want to have us support your right to get married…if you want your rights as a couple…then you award those same rights to others who are not like you. That is what you have been asking for, start living it as well.
