"for the children" my ass...

Ed Brayton on the Oklahoma law that allowed the state to ignore adoptions from other states if the adoptive parents are of the same sex:

Dispatches from the Culture Wars: 10th Circuit Overturns Oklahoma Gay Adoption Law:

Anyone who would argue for such a law has given up all right to claim to be for "family values." This law would, for legal purposes, destroy families. Don't tell me you value families when you push a law that denies adopted children the only parents they've ever known and all the protections that come with that parental relationship. If that is your position, you don't give a damn about children; the only thing you care about is your twisted, bronze age moral code and your ability to inflict it on others.

The 10th circuit, btw, has thrown the law out. Good for them!
