Thread Name: BS: Gay Adoption-Yea or Nay
Subject: RE: BS: Gay Adoption-Yea or Nay
I taped the Primetime Thursday Gay Adoption documentary tonight. I can't imagine anyone watching it and remaining convinced that gay and lesbian people should not be adoptive parents.

The Florida legislator they interviewed (cute though he was!) is an example of the unyielding, rigid stance of the fundamentalist at his worst. Somehow the stereotypical fundamentalist sees no need to examine evidence and think for him or herself.

Diane Sawyer repeatedly said that the choice is not between having heterosexual parents or gay parents; it is between having any loving parents and having no parents at all.

I was glad that they ended the show with 'happy' endings, but the fact is that there are tens of thousands of unhappy endings.
