  • Anti-Gay, Anti-Family: [quote]Even before the law passed, the state estimated that it had only about a quarter of the foster parents it needed. Beginning on Jan. 1, a grandmother in Arkansas cohabitating with her opposite-sex partner because marrying might reduce their pension benefits is barred from taking in her own grandchild; a gay man living with his male partner cannot adopt his deceased sister?s children. Most ominous, once ?pro-family? groups start arguing that gay couples are unfit to raise children we might adopt, how long before they argue that we?re unfit to raise those we?ve already adopted? If lesbian couples are unfit to care for foster children, are they fit to care for their own biological children? The loss in California last week was heartbreaking. But what may be coming next is terrifying. [/quote]
