One of the inconsistencies in Florida law, as well in some other places, no doubt, is that same-sex couples are allowed to foster-parent long term- just not adopt. In what way is the stablility of adoption worse when it comes to role-modeling than long-term foster care? Surely, if the powers-that-be really believed what they are saying, they would not approve foster parenting?

On a more particular note, if 'Bert', now that he is no longer HIV positive, is required to leave his home, his parents and his siblings, where he has spent his life, where he has been since he was 9 weeks old, I think we should all take to the streets. Or at the least, inundate with mail the Florida legislature, court system, Human Resource agency and whatever else we can think of. It would be a CRIME.
