Please don't marginalize families. This also makes economic sense for New Mexico, as companies find it easier to attract skilled workers in places that do not have legislation denying equal rights.
Because my family deserves equal protection.
I remember sitting in a preschool room with my son before I headed out. The CD player was stuck and making an odd noise. It made him jump, and he was quietly imitating it. I think we were the only two in the room who noticed (and were bothered by it). I turned it off since there was so much else going on, noise-wise.
I (and my partner) recognize most of my son's quirks in me. It has helped in that I have often been able to make a good guess at his emotions and motivations when he's getting too worked up.
