Happy 4th Anniversary Roslyn
Posted on March 21, 2014 by bobcargill (@xkv8r)
Roslyn,
We’ve been married 4 years, and it was beautiful from the beginning.
It’s been a tough year – the toughest yet…
…and yet it was a beautiful mess of babies and growth that I wouldn’t want to share with anyone else.
I love you more everyday.
Happy 4th anniversary.

Iowa’s Zach Wahls appears on THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART.
Very proud to be an Iowan and of Zach Wahls, who was interviewed as a guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Wahls discussed his new book, My Two Moms, and how the 12 rules of the Boy Scouts were exemplified by his parents in raising him.
The video of the Daily Show interview is here.
His original speech to the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in opposition to a proposed amendment to ban gay marriage is below.

really rick?? children with 2 parents are better economically than children with 1 parent, unless the parents are gay??
Posted on May 3, 2011 by bobcargill (@xkv8r)
Former United States Senator Rick Santorum recently argued in Iowa City that economically speaking, children that are raised by 2-parent families have more economic opportunities than children raised by a single parent, unless the 2-parents are gay.
Santorum achieved the rare double-double of parenting politics by offending both single parents and gay parents in one speech. He apparently took the same statistics class as U.S. Senator from Arizona Jon Kyl.
Does Santorum really think that same-sex couples aren’t as economically viable as heterosexual couples? Economically? Being gay makes a difference economically??? If men are still statistically paid more than women for the same work, wouldn’t this statistically be an advantage for a child of a same-sex male couple?
