Florida courts: "You gay people can't adopt children"
Violence has been threatened in this thread, which is traditionally a more severe charge than base personal attacks.
and btw - I'm not anti gay adoption. I do believe a prominent source of both male and female influence are best for healthy system of parental upbringing; but at the same time realise the reality of the world situation in that there are a LOT of children out there needing a family.
As has already been pointed out - better than a group home (or perhaps an influenced abortion)
Actually he is. He may have a past - but he's playing kosher today. Calling for a ban on immediate arrival; is altogether another sort of closed minded bigotry.
I know at least a half dozen gay and lesbian couples who have adopted children. I see them and their children every Saturday morning at Chinese school, and every month at play group. Based on conversations in the hallway between classes or over a dinner of takeout Chinese, these gay and lesbian parents do face issues that heterosexual parents do not have. Aside from issues of teasing on the playground, these gay and lesbian adoptive parents seem concerned about their ability to provide appropriate gender role models for their adoptive children. This is, in a sense, the reverse of the problem that these gays and lesbians faced growing up with heterosexual parents. The more serious you think that problem is growing up, the more serious it is when applied to your adoptive children.
All that said, the Florida court decsion is absurd. If it is legal to be a foster parent, I don't know why it is illegal to be an adoptive parent. Moreover, from a public policy point of view, the issue is not whether the children would be better off with gay or lesbain adoptive parents versus heterosexual parents or a single parent. The issue is whether the children would be better off in a loving home or in the state's juvenile care system or existing severely disfunctional familiy. If Florida's social service system is anything like that of other states, the answer should be pretty obvious.
I would like to see this decision challenged by a foster parent or gay or lesbian parent who moved in from out of state.

What I don't understand is why someone would want to TELL everyone about their groundless, incurable prejudice - if I was like PA, I'd at least try and hide it.

We're not allowed to say anything that goes against the gay lobby here at Apolyton, so have to resort to using smileys in order to avoid an unjust banning.
Let's just be glad this forum isn't representative of real life, or what a mess we'd really be in.
Stewie's just one of those people who constantly brings down gay people, then goes home at night with older men, only to feel ashamed after and come to post on Poly slandering gays...
"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

And that addressed my point HOW?

Read the first paragraph again, then reread the second paragraph. Keep doing that until you get it.
