The funny part is the people that are so against same sex parenting are parents who are raising kids just as closed minded and ignorant as they are.

YES!!!
You should have seen these families on the ship. It actually made me cry a few times just to see how caring and loving these families were.

I knew it was you, and I was going to ask if you had deleted your other account and were in the process of de-friending folks!! haha
Glad I still make the cut!!

We are so glad you turned your trip around from "sad,I hate to waste the money" to " Damn I can Move on" . Love is only in the hearts of truly giving people. And Frank you will give your love again to a great partner and family. We are sure of that.

Thanks. I am optimistic about that. Wading through the crap in the meantime is kinda - well.... CRAPPY!! But I am amazed at how many friends and family members have reached out to me. I am also shifting from "I'm all alone in the world" to "I am unpartnered but surrounded by great people."
Thanks!

Welcome back.
Thank you for sharing what you have experienced on your cruise. I had no idea that it could be that great of a trip. I would love to someday write about it myself. It's heartwarming to know that there are a lot of families that are being raised by loving, caring couples.

Thanks.
The R Family cruise isn't for everybody. You have to like being around kids, and you have to go with the idea that it is a FAMILY cruise and not a meat-market, hook-up cruise. If you're looking for that, you won't have any fun at all.
But I would HIGHLY recommend going. Just doing the Alaska cruise (even if it was a STRAIGHT cruise) is absolutely beautiful. But the added bonus of gay families was fantastic - for me, anyways!
