Children 0, Neocons 1
Gee, am I proud to be from the fine state of Florida. The only one that has a law banning adoption by homosexuals.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to the ban that has been around since 1977.
The law's sponsor, Florida Sen. Curtis Peterson, said at the time the purpose of the legislation was to send a message to gays and lesbians that "we're really tired of you. We wish you'd go back into the closet."
Well, I'm really tired of bigots like Curtis Peterson, and I wish he'd go back in the closet.
Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union... said the law denied many Florida children permanent families. "This law sacrifices the interests of children," they said. "It is no exaggeration to say that lives may be at stake here; childhoods certainly are."
I'm just happy I live in a state where neocon "values" are more important than finding good loving homes for children, and overt discrimination gets written into law.
