Hello everyone, Welcome to the official Gay Family Values blogg by the Depfox family of YouTube. Many of you know that we were a private family Living in Northern California Who began making YouTube videos to help fight the passage of California's Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in our state constitution. Those videos were meant to show our life as an average, everyday gay family. We hoped that in showing our lives that we could help dispell many of the bad stereotypes about gay families and gay people in generall. We couldn't have imagined what would happen as a result of those first videos. We began to get tons of emails asking questions, showing support, and sharing stories of tragedy and hope. This blog will be a little different in that we will offer our perspective, as a gay family, on current events in life, gay news, the struggle for marriage equality, and everything in between. And...yes...we promise...it won't all be Youtube related. Please enjoy our crazy, disfunctionally slanted view of life and please visit us at the links posted on the right at our new site: www.Gay-family-values.com and were it all began, on Youtube.

How Do We Put A Label On Love?
One thing I don't believe that ANY straight person
understands is that a gay couples worst nightmare is to have the
one they love die. That's soul crushing for anyone regardless of
sexual orientation. ButFamily Equality Council...Going Places
Oh yes, We went a LOT of places this month
and we are pooped!....One of those places was to Los Angeles to
attend the Family Equality Councils annual award and fundraiser
event. This year, We were one of the recipients of the FEC's
