 A Woman's View:
Same Sex Marriage- Wednesday
August 27, 2003
by: Barbara Reid
Barbara noted that "With all the current serious concerns to pay attention to,

thing is rather ridiculous to be spending so much time on." She felt it was
time that we heard what a woman, a "mom," a "misses," has to
say about this contentious topic that will take up a lot of time when the house sits
this fall.
