Scanning the various ballot measures listed by CNN, it turns out that Arkansas has a ballot initiative to prevent adoptions or fostering by unmarried couples - straight or gay. Glad to know they consider me an evil sinner too!

yeah. i felt strangely comforted just now, when i saw they're not just hating gays, but all unmarried folks. we're all in this together.

It gets me more pissed off. Married couples already have too many advantages.

Yep. They hate the gays so much they're willing to lump other groups in with them to oppress them. After all if you want kids but not marriage you still don't fit into their little box of acceptable to not hate.

If you look at this item alone, it seems it's okay to have your own children out of wedlock, it's just adopting that's bad. Maybe they should just outlaw adoptions, that'd be much simpler.

Or ban children. We can't let the wrong sorts raise them.

Interestingly, the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes not only the right to "marry and found a family" (without mentioning adoption or not), but also the right to privacy! There's so many ways we could twist that document to our advantage.
