damn the muse

Former child abusers, felons, and drug abusers can be adoptive parents in Florida, but if you're homosexual then you're the spawn of Satan himself. The Supreme Court has let stand a lower court Florida ruling that bans homosexuals from adopting children.

I thought this was about the best interest of the child. Isn't it in the child's best interest to be in a caring and loving home? Every day more and more children are being lost to a system that doesn't care anymore. Social workers lose children, and Florida is obviously one of those states with this problem. God forbid they let gay foster parents adopt. They have such great track records as foster parents, how humiliating would it be if it were proven that they're wonderful adoptive parents as well.

These are children, not objects to be thrown around everytime we want to debate the merits of whether a child is going to grow up to be gay. So what? At least that child lives in a happy home instead of some orphange, or worse yet, raped and dead in a ditch.
