The Department of Children and Families has requested the adoption be overturned because of the state law that prevents any lesbian or gay man from adopting. In January, a Miami-Dade circuit judge allowed the adoption, saying the ban was “unconstitutional on its face.” The more well known Florida adoption case of Frank Martin Gill was heard by the same court last August, and a ruling is still pending.

Though I hate it, I could even accept (for now) that state saying that one is not a good enough parent because he/she is gay. But that's not what these states are saying. They're saying "You're good parents. We're just not going to legitimize your families." And that's not ok.

I am a heterosexual, and I believe that any couple, traditional or otherwise, capable of caring for a child in a nurturing and loving environment should be able to do so. Addressing this to "straight folks" only makes you look ignorant.

That heterosexuals would sooner see their 'throwaway children' ACTUALLY thrown away rather than live with a gay couple. Morality indeed, straight folks. Morality indeed. Heartbreaking. That heterosexuals would sooner see their ‘throwaway children’ ACTUALLY thrown away rather than live with a gay couple.

Morality indeed, straight folks.

Morality indeed.
