MO and foster parents

NancyP — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:49:22 GMT

There was a don't ask don't tell policy of allowing "single" people to be foster parents, and many gays and lesbians became foster parents under the old system. Then a highly overqualified lesbian couple applied as a couple and was accepted until some higher up decided to deny. They took it to court and won, largely because the reason that the state gave was that the couple admitted a crime because they admitted "sodomy" under the state definition. Since Lawrence v Texas had been decided for a while, the court said that wasn't valid because the state statute was invalidated by LvT, even if it hadn't been repealed yet. So, discrimination in granting foster parent licenses will go underground and denial will be made for other reasons.

Undo Census memo not to count all legal marriages.

Karen in Kalifornia — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:22:26 GMT

bel,
You have high expectations...repeal of DOMA.
At this point for me, at the very least for me, the lowest common denominator GLBT rights thing to do would be for the Obama Administration to undo the policy that won't count LEGALLY married same gender couples aas "married" but rather as "unmarried partners" in the 2010 census. Current Census spokeman is using DOMA as the explanation for why this is the policy...because the feds don't recognize same gender marriages FOR ANY REASON.

ProtectMarriage Pastor's Rapid Response Team

The antis are going directly for the church ("Your's in Christ") vote. PM sponsors biweekly teleconferences for ministers about how to push Prop 8. They brag they have 168 churches signed up in California. They're also staring up the same type of thing in AZ and FL. One of the main things the conferences cover is what legally a minister and church can and cannot do....as we know, everything short of endorsing a CANIDATE is legal...so ministers can promote a vote on Prop Hate8 all they want.
Here's the time line of planned events.

I'm STILL pi$$ed!

I read the wording of the ballot pros and cons

Morry — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:03:21 GMT

It seems like more "facts" are packed into the explanation in support of the initiative than against it. For example, the bizarre statement that it was 4 "activist judges" that decided the case, instead of four REPUBLICAN APPOINTED JUDGES that decided the case, is left unchallenged in the opposition statement. Seems like a more direct dismantling of their "pulled out of the ass" arguments would have been in order.

Yet, I guess the new wording of the title will certainly help. If people understand that they are actually taking rights away, maybe they will be less likely to vote for it.

I've made a NEW frienemy

punkin' you'll have to do a lot worse than low ratings, how about actually making a post yourself? or are your balls on training wheels TOO?

Can't speak for Minnesota...

...but you can still send a donation to "No on 2" in Florida because there are WAY more SoBapts here than in California and I really fear losing this one!

This is still the only state in which gays cannot adopt.
