Comments on: Janet Jenkins tells her story on Nightline http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/01/29/19950 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:37:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Regan DuCasse http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/01/29/19950/comment-page-1#comment-61043 Regan DuCasse Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:40:29 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=19950#comment-61043 Peter Spriggs should be ashamed of himself. He actually said of Janet Jenkins "she should learn to just let it go." WTF? What. The. Fu*K???!!! Lisa Miller isn't immortal. She could become ill, have an accident or lose a job. And Isabella's ONLY other parent who CARES about her, is supposed to 'just let it go..."???!!! If Janet were a man, regardless of biological tethers, but who showed THIS much commitment and willingness and love for the child ANYWAY, he'd be applauding Janet's fight for Isabella. My brother is married to an Asian woman, years his senior who had four children from a previous marriage. They have none together biologically. My brother has no biological connection to those children. But he sure as hell is their FATHER. And has been now for nearly 20 years. This case, and how the ex gay movement, anti gay and so on exploit it by harping on the 'non biological' aspect makes me so sick. It's so cruel to say that as if adults who pledge and promise to love and see to the welfare of the child they choose to doesn't matter just because the bio mom says so. Like I said, if Janet Jenkins had been a hetero man, she'd have been applauded. Because from what I can see, Isabella HAS no other parents stepping up like Jenkins! Peter Spriggs should be ashamed of himself.
