Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
Carrie Bourassa, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, and Joseph Boyden were also all adopted into indigenous families. In all of those cases the point was made that adoption does not confer indigenous status.
In all these stories and in the story of Buffy .... the core of the issue for me is ... HONESTY
If any of them had been honest of who they were and what they wanted to do and why ... most of these controversies wouldn't have become as big an issue as they are now.
They all started from a base of dishonesty and continued that way without ever admitting fault. The biggest issue for me is not there identity ... it's the fact that they lied, continue to lie and live off those lies.
Umm...whut? They are ceremonial adult adoptions. Or am I missing something.
