A letter to the editor sent to thre Arkansas Newspapers

Here we go again. Time for people to start “gay-bashing” the adoption thing. It seems that the state’s conservatives just can’t seem to get the message that this issue is supposed to be dead. Jerry Cox of the Arkansas Family Council and his cohorts seem to be heel bent on keeping certain “undesirables’” from adopting any children in this state. What are these people so scarred of I ask?

The truth, that’s what. It is basic human nature to demonize what you don’t know. Early day Christians did it with impunity in the middle ages. If it wasn’t for the persistence of renaissance scientists hundreds of years ago we would still be taught that the earth is flat and heaven revolves around us. Religious conservatives do this out of fear without know a shred of truth. So they make up stories to spoke the dimmest of the voting population into believing that what they put out is true. If the last election was any indication, perhaps this nations voters are getting just a bit smarter to buy into that line anymore.

I said it before that this is a NON-ISSUE and really has no place in Arkansas politics. or anywhere else for that matter. If Mr. Cox and his group would actually use their talents for helping the states children out they can start to do so by NOT telling anyone else how to take care of theirs or dictate who is qualified to do that.

Currently in the U.S. Congress there are several bills designed to extend to gays, and transgenders the same protections that other minorities have enjoyed. You would not believe how much malarkey has been made up to prevent these from becoming law, every one of them an outright lie. Arkansas gay parent adoption ban is another embarrassing piece of legislation that does not need to see the light of day. The conservative right is promoting what gays really are is an outright lie.

And they know it too.
