Living Out Loud with Darian

I've sat and watched the Britney Spears tragedy unfold over the past few months and I never felt a need to write about her life until the recent custody battle started over her offspring with Kevin Federline. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was once a huge Britney fan. Most commercial dancers in L.A. love her and at one point considered her the artist to dance for next to Janet Jackson.

It's obvious that Britney has received too much to soon and she is desperately crying out for help. This just proves that money doesn't always bring happiness, it can actually make a once normal and boring life a lot worse.

In the mix off all of the chaos in Britney's world right now are two beautiful children, both born to parents who obviously didn't consider the huge responsibility of parenthood and how it would change their once glamorous Hollywood lives.

Forgive me for what I'm about to say, but I couldn't help but think to myself how dsyfunctional this "traditional household" is and the households of many "normal" families in this country. Is this the perfect family unit that President Bush, James Dobson, and every other bigoted right wing politician are always talking about?

I've always believed that just because you can pro-create doesn't mean that you should. I really wish Britney would have reached for some birth control or made her trailer park looking husband run to the 7-Eleven for a pack of Trojans.

It's insulting that adoption agencies deny gay couples the right everyday to raise children in loving and productive homes when Britney and K-Fed consistently make a mockery out of what is considered to be normal and the "ideal" environment in which to raise children.
