GOP Leaders: Ohio Anti-Gay Adoption Bill D.O.A.
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/02/021106adoption.htm

A bill to ban gays, bisexuals, and transgenderds from adopting, that was proposed this week by 10 far-right Republicans, is dead in the water GOP and Democratic party leaders said Saturday.

GOP leaders in the House and Senate said they would not permit the measure to move through committee.

House Speaker Jon A. Husted (R- Kettering) through his chief of staff blasted the proposed bill.

"Most reasonable people would have a preference for being in a loving, alternative setting rather than an abusive, heterosexual setting," Scott Borgemenke told the Columbus Dispatch.

3. GAAAAAAWWWWWD SEZ IT'S BAAAAAAD!
And that's about the sum total of the argument against.

Pathetic, useless waste of typing, that subject line. I just advanced my incipient carpal tunnel syndrome by .00002% by typing that.

Oh, I HOPE you're HAPPY. :D

One small step for man. One great leap for COMMON SENSE.

Why was it dumped? Simple really. Because there's absolutely and positively NO PROOF ANYWHERE that would substantiate their bigotted homophobic (10 far right GOPers) stupid claims! P E R I O D.
