At least the rappers are up front!

Throughout my life I’ve had more appreciation for the outspoken.

Even if I didn’t like what they said, at least I knew where they stood.

Not so long ago I noticed a singer dedicating a song to same sex marriage. Her name is Larkin Gayl and she tells a story about how she was moved to write the song after seeing Gavin Newsom marry gay couples in San Francisco (2004).

I was very impressed with her gesture to celebrate California Gay Marriage with us and in turn I created a video with her song.

People shown in the video contacted me which prompted me to place the video on YouTube so more folks could see it.

Larkin Gayl visited my blog and thanked me for creating it. She said how wonderful it was to be a part of all this.

Yesterday I wandered over to her myspace and was shocked to see her say;

I hope "I Do" is not only known as a "gay wedding song" but as a song that promoted love and acceptance in a time that needed it it desperately..

I was further shocked to see a video associated with the song which showed straight marriages as well as gay marriages. Some how John Lennon and Yoko Ono and many others are related to gay marriage! [www.larkingayl.com]

Ms. Gayl, in case you forgot, straights have been able to marry for many years, gays have not!

You claim to dedicate the song to same sex marriage and then you expand upon that dedication [after the fact] to cover all non-cookie-cutter marriages.

You use gay marriage as a springboard to benefit yourself and then dilute your dedication at the expense of the gay community.

I have removed the video.

Video: Gay Marriage - I Do

She dedicated the song to "same sex marriage" then Larkin Gayl says (on her myspace site)

I hope "I Do" is not only known as a "gay wedding song" but as a song that promoted love and acceptance in a time that needed it it desperately.."
