I have two wonderful daughters. . . . They are bright. They are hard working. They are decent. And I simply am not going to talk about their personal lives.
Most families have the luxury of time and privacy in which to adjust and recalibrate.
In political life, there is neither. The national leadership of the Republican party takes the position that no gay people should adopt children, and if they do, the child might be taken away from them to be placed elsewhere. I regard this as a direct attack on my family. While I continue to support local Republicans, as long as the Republican national leadership feels this way, I cannot support it. Knight took the opposite tack by authoring Proposition 22, which passed this year.
