   Well obviously it’s a joke. And I would think Republicans would have more important things to do than propose legislation to ban same-sex couples from adopting. Both sides seem to be wasting their time with this stuff.

   Well yeah… that was the point of the “republican ban” but it’s not too surprising to hear Republicans trying to ban Same-Sex Adoptions. Anything involving love+2 (wo)men+kids= wrong in their eyes.

   If you can believe so strongly in homosexual adoption being okay, why are we “anti-love” if we believe so strongly against it? It has nothing to do with love, it has to do with core beliefs that a family with a mother and a father is better than any other type of family structure: single parent, two men, two women.

   “It has nothing to do with love, it has to do with core beliefs that a family with a mother and a father is better than any other type of family structure”

   Who are you to say what is love and what isn’t. Don’t you think that’s a bit presumptuous of you?

   Just because the majority of us have “mother/father” families, makes it wrong?

   It’s no more ridiculous than the Republican proposal….

   But I do have to give credit where its due… The Speaker of House John Husted (R) has squashed the Republican proposal to ban gay adoptions by saying “it wasn’t a priority”, preferring to focus on economic issues….(such as they do, anyway). A number of conservative bloggers here in Ohio have blasted Husted… Personally, I think these “conservatives” need to get a life and focus on positive change that benefits everyone. They just underscore the criticism that they are narrow-minded bigots.

   (I’ll see if I can find some blog links for you)

   This from a blogger in my own town of Dayton, Ohio (where Husted is from)…

   Husted Wrong Has Priorities Wrong Again

   So refreshing to find another republican on here! I think it is crap to want to ban republicans from adoption. I understand why they want to ban same sex couples from adopting. Glenn Beck wrote a book called The Real America. It is an excellent book. It talks about tolerance and how it you make exceptions here and then it soon becomes tolerable. And one point he goes on to talk about this love affair, then after reading on, you find out that it is his sister that he’s in love with. Then he gives you reasons why it is okay. By the time he’s done, it is almost tolerable. I am not saying that anyone should be banned from adopting all the unwanted children in the world. I think they all deserve love. But I do strongly believe in the core family unit as it was designed to be!

   I’ve known people raised by same-sex partners and they, in some aspects were MORE well adjusted than my friends from straight couples. The problem I have with people wanting to step into someone else’s business (who they can marry and raise kids with) is that most of the time it’s based on religious morals. People preach that it is immoral for two men or two women to be able to “marry” each other, yet get their panties in a wad when someone halfway across the world, because of THIER religious morals, downgrades women to second class citizens. Yet declaring that homosexuals do not deserve equal rights to straight people is somehow right?

   While I think this is hillarious, I also think this is a huge waste of time. Let’s get to work making some real changes in Washington, not making jokes like this.
