Florida ends 33 year ban on gay and lesbian adoptions
Yes... 33 years .. you see Florida got the ban WAY early because of the tight sweater bitch Anita Bryant. Sunshine state for you. Ass kicked state for us.

(CNN) -- Florida's ban on adoptions by gay men and lesbians came to an official end Friday.

Full story... http://edition.cnn.com/2010/US/10/22/florida.gay.adoptions/

1. This was just a fictional episode on Outlaw......
...The series on TV starring Jimmy Smits.

It was sad but it pointed to the ludicrous Florida law that deprived needy children of loving homes based on a horrible discriminatory process.

Glad it is gone. Hope other states follow.

2. I strongly advocate that somebody locate that fuckwad and pie her all over again.
And yes, make it a fruit pie.

4. Bryant made the following statements :
"As a mother, I know that homosexuals cannot biologically reproduce children; therefore, they must recruit our children" and "If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes and to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nail biters." She also added that "All America and all the world will hear what the people have said, and with God's continued help we will prevail in our fight to repeal similar laws throughout the nation."

6. Anita Bryant is a shameless liar.
Isn't it amazing that "Christless Christians" like Anita Bryant get so far by lying about people?

Who else do we know like that?

7. I thought that the courts are a terrible way to get something repealed.
I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the legislature is the only way to permanently repeal a law...

Color me confused!
