Some asshole in the Ohio House (Ron Hood, R-Ashville)has introduced a bill that would ban Ohio G/L/B/T from adopting children or being foster parents...casue we all know that a child should be kept in care, or with an abusive parent instead of living a happy, pink and lavendar filled life with teh Gayze!!!

State Sen. Robert Hagen has another idea:
Ban GOP Adoptions.

I <3 Robert Hagen.

I am off to flash my boobs in hopes of getting some beads. Happy Mardi Gras!

I read about this a few days ago. Thank gawd someone other than you and the mrs know what the heck is going on in Ohio!

And, it's worth noting that CAMPUS MINISTRY has been passing out mardi gras beads today in Catholiland. Hahaha.

Impressive really. How many stories have we all heard about straight foster parents beating, molesting and/or neglecting their foster kids? Too many to count. A frightening number of foster parents are in it for the money, and in Canada if the child is considered 'treatment' you get more money for keeping them. A lot more.
If we let gays and lesbians raise the lost children, they might turn out well adjusted, upstanding, socially conscious and sensitive adults. And these children, in turn, would go on to raise happy, healthy children, obliterating the need for foster parents altogether. We can't have that, now can we?

5 kids have died while in care in a two week period here in Vegas. Guess what???? All but one kid was killed by a straight man....the other was killed by her birth mother. Nice huh. In the state of Nevada gay couples can become foster parents but only one can adopt. Stupid shit.

Ron Hood - D, Ohio- endorsed by the NRA (he voted against having gun owners lock up firearms at home)but he does have a 3-year old daughter at home, he's anti-abortion, anti RU-286, anti-union, anti- a minimum wage increase in OH. He is up for election. He wishes to deny homes to children who need good homes and parents who want to provide them. He is evil incarnate and is the poster-boy of the new, divisive GOP.

And his email is: ronaldhood@usa.net

That really pisses me off. There aren't enough foster parents and then he wants to limit it even more. Since it appears he cares so much for children, he should adopt a few.

Son of a bitch!!! It's people like this that make me nuts. You know that in Florida that same proposal has been in the books. I thought we had cornered the assholery dept. I see that it's not the case.

Welcome to Florida, the Sunshine State! Home of the other Bush :O
Where old folks come to cure their arthritis, and gays cannot adopt or be foster parents.

I feel ya in Ohio. Seems like the Bible Belt has added suspenders and y'all are being drawn into the neanderthal closet.

What a bunch of narrowminded assholes.

(I really had a more well developed response to this in my head... unfortunately, I can't type fast enough and it died in between my brain and my fingers. Meh.)

Ya gotta love Mardi Gras baby. It's one of my favorite holidays, hell I celebrate it year round. Sober too :) My boobs have been seen by a large percentage of the state of Delaware by this point. Wee!!
