Yes… that is the most distressing part. I would love to hear the science behind the adoption ban of gay parents, just because i would even more greatly like to hear the rebuttal.

Next stop, Arkansas?

Passage of Act 1 (the name of the ballot measure) on the 2008 ballot in Arkansas banned adoption by unmarried individuals, effectively blocking adoption by gay couples. Let’s hope that it gets defeated in the courts too.

(From http://www.ontopmag.com):
“The Family Council Action Committee (FCAC) is the primary backer responsible for getting the anti-gay measure on the November ballot. The Little Rock, AR-based organization is also largely responsible for passage of a constitutional ban against gay marriage in Arkansas in 2004.”

Let’s hope that perspective gay adoptive parents in Arkansas don’t have to wait 31 years.

At least the safety-net provided by the courts continues to function, albeit somewhat slowly.

For now.

What is interesting is that Florida allows sex offenders and even child molesters to adopt on a case-by-case basis. But not gay people. The Christian Taliban cares too much about children to allow us to do that. On the other hand, child molesters (with whom they don’t have a blood feud), meh, whatever.
