Where's the avalanche of gaybies?  Surely the roads have turned to lava and brimstone.

QuoteGay people across the state are now free to apply to adopt and will be considered based on the same criteria applied to everyone elseâ€" their ability to provide a loving, safe home for a child.
It's about time, and long overdue!

Thank goodness.  Now we need to reform the adoption laws all across the board so that potential adoptive parents can be looked at a little more subjectively.  You may wonder why more people adopt from overseas even though we have a ton of little babies and kids here that can be adopted, it's because there are so many little things that can disqualify someone from adopting here.  You could have a million dollars in the bank and no criminal record but because you filed for bankruptcy way long time ago or even just some minor detail, you can't adopt a U.S. baby/kid.  This affects everyone, gay or straight.

Scott doesn't care about gay anything. No money in it.

We have elected ourselves a gigantic crook. Not a conservative/liberal/politician. He just played one. He's a crook.

Keep that in mind moving forward. Follow the money and you'll know what he's up to.
