Hi all,
This is, I think, a story worth mentioning. Here is a link to the most recent - though not most throrough - article I've found about it.
www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-gay21.html
This is part of a larger bill, which is how these things always seem to get passed. And the offensive part says that gay couples would not be allowed to become foster parents. But - more heinous - is that foster children who are currently living in a home with gay parents can be removed. That's right. It's better to rip the children out of a loving home and throw them back into an under-funded, over-populated foster care system than have them exposed to homosexuals.
Right now, Florida is the only state to have something similar, in the form of a complete ban on gay couples adopting children. And what do Texas and Florida have in common?... hmmmm...
