So what is wrong with a gay family showing that same respect. A family who, on the death bed, wants to bequeath to his/her partner. Isn't that love. Or are the standards set by the Palin family types. I am sure a priest would never agree to having babies out of wedlock. (A child is born at conception according to McCain)

"Let families be families and show love in their own way without this constant sniping." The inclusion of this young man showed much integrity on his part and on the part of the family. Most young men would claim she had sex with many others and run in the opposite direction and not show his face on national TV. It shows alot about the character of all parties involved.

Maybe you have something to learn about how loving families come together. You would not be happy if they rejected the young man, perhaps sent out an honor killing against him, or something like that, would you? Honor killing!! I love it. I've been catching up on the thread and trying to figure out what some of the critics on the thread would prefer the Palins had done with regard to their pregnant teen. You came up with the perfect observation! I very much admire and approve of the way the Palins have handled their twin challenges--Down syndrome baby and their 'wayward' teen. In my experience this would be the way a typical loving Christian family would behave in this day and age. Rejection and shaming are a thing of the past and seen today for what they are, which is counter-productive on many levels. Those two young people have pretty much thrown away their carefree youth and will, as Sarah Palin said, have to grow up very fast now. The odds are that their marriage will fail under the strain and impair their ability to fully nurture their baby. My guess is the Palins understand this, too, and know that castigation will only add to the strain. Nothing good would come from it that I can see.
