Good.

I don't think Floridians should be allowed to adopt.

... but the couple can't marry. So, while ostensibly claiming to "defend families", Florida law bars this family from the security and benefits of marriage. Clearly, any anti-gay marriage justification that focuses on child rearing is false.

Wait, Florida was banned? Why did they stop?

James!: I don't think Floridians should be allowed to adopt.

they would only be adopting other Floridians...

I see no reason why same sex couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt a dog or a cat, it's not like they are into farking beasts.
 
2011-12-13 06:34:07 PM
It just took this long to educate Florida gays what child-rearing really means.

If I ever adopted I would introduce my kid this way:

"And this is jst3p jr., we rescued him last spring!"

In before the "Oh noes, think of the children!" crowd.

How long until corporations start adopting?

What's all this about banning flouride?

Thank you for all of that progressive thinking Florida! Now we can finally realize our dream of a family.

I was really into animal husbandry for a while - until the police caught me doing it and told me to stop.

I just love how "traditional family" supporters are actually creating new kinds of untraditional family structures. From their gay marriage laws, their support of an economic system where both parents have to work to secure their existence, supporting kicking people to the curb to be homeless and raise their kids or have the kids taken away to some organization, private or state, and the same with the using the "anchor baby" bullshiat to break up families etc. etc. Or incarcerating people for consensual nonviolent victimless "crimes" such as toking up. Or suggesting rolling back child labor laws.
From the sweatshops around the world and people being farked over by "free trade", to the broken homes in Iraq, to the military homes and prisons of America.
Nobody supports breaking up the traditional family like "the family values" vermin.

Great. Next thing you know they'll be able to adopt rocks or turtles. Way to go libs!

FINALLY. We can prove once and for all that gay people can be shiatty parents too.

Equality baby!

Perhaps "allowing" adoption will make way for "allowing" gay marriage.

I put it in quotes because the government has NO MORAL RIGHT to bar marriage or adoption. The only laws that should apply should bar anyone with a violent criminal record from adopting, and legally holding the adopting party to its parental obligations to protect the child from harm and see to his or her survival. Outside of that, laissez nous faire!!!

I wasn't aware that Florida has been banned for years.

2011-12-13 07:07:01 PM
The real WTF is why was this illegal in the first place?!

So what? Kids aren't freaked out by that.

They are, however, permanently scarred by moronic bigot parents who freak out and make a big deal out of something that isn't.

Next they'll want to adopt turtles. Disgusting.

Keep America's wang away from children!

When did Florida get banned?
 
2011-12-13 07:14:21 PM
CSS time

The lawsuit that started legalization of gay adoption in Florida happened between a former professor at my alma mater and her ex-wife. Before the ugly divorce, one had been inseminated and the babies were then adopted by the one that didn't bear them. Adoption took place in a state out west that allowed gay adoption.

When the divorce happened, the professor argued to family court that the other's adopted parental rights, while legal in the state where it happened, should not be recognized by florida law. Ultimately FL supreme court agreed to recognize the adoption rights.

The non-shiatty one of the two was then honored by a gay rights organization for accomplishing gay adoption recognition FL. At the awards ceremony in California, she met Jane Lynch (glee cheerleading coach) and they fell in love, got married a year or two ago.

/the professor ex wife is a total nutjob

Well, that's it then, I guess. The End Days are upon us. Start looking for horsemen.

Jane Lynch is married to a woman?
*wiki*
Well I'll be.

Also,

Vosburg and Santamaria were joined at the ceremony by about 16 long-term friends they call The Village, from the phrase "It takes a village to raise a child."

Is that really why you call it that? Really? Be honest.

I'm guessing, say, 75% who care about kids vs. 25% who care about OMG TEH GAYS will comment on that article through the link.

(Checks)

Yup

Anti-gay sentiment is slowly dying. Younger people trend supportive to neutral. Anti-gay is becoming increasingly marginal. Good riddance.
 
2011-12-13 07:27:04 PM
Good for them. It will undoubtedly make the "Your mom" jokes that much funnier for these kids.

Also, they end every single one of Vosburg's sentences with a question mark.

I feel like the author is trying to tell me how the man speaks.
 
2011-12-13 07:32:44 PM
Thankfully, I have seen a huge reduction in anti-gay and racist sentiments in my lifetime. Keep it going.

Not sure how Lynch's orientation could possibly be a surprise. She's like Degeneres 2.0
