(Little Rock Arkansas) Rep. Bob Adams (D-Sheridan) says that his bill to ban the state from placing children in "homosexual homes" isn’t meant to discriminate against gays.

"Nobody, either homosexual or heterosexual, has a fundamental right to adopt," Thomas said. "In foster care and adoption, the state is actually creating families. It’s a very serious responsibility."

Thomas told the lawmakers that research that says that gays make good parents is flawed.

"Common sense should tell us that a home with two homosexual men or two homosexual women is not going to be the same as home with a married mom and dad," Thomas said.
