  Gay Adoption Ban in Florida Challenged

  I pray for the sake of all involved this archaic impediment to same sex adoption gets overturned. The "faith-based" ignorance and fear which has many terrified of allowing same sex partners to adopt is ridiculous. I am so sick of hearing that gays and lesbians will teach their kids that homosexuality is "normal". Really? They're afraid that these unsuspecting children will be weened to become avid homosexuals and follow that unholy path. There are millions of kids across the country that would give enything to have a stable environment in which to grow up. Instead of affording them a chance by allowing 2 people who actually "WANT" a kid and are prepared emotionally and financially to raise them; they'd rather leave them in mismanaged foster homes where they are often beaten, raped or as we have seen many times here in Florida they go missing altogether.  Gays and lesbians just want to have a family similar to the ones they grew up in. Have that sense of accomplishment thier parents, MY parents, had when they provide for a child and see them grow to become successful men and women regardless of sexual orientation or creed. I, like many of the GLBT community, was raised by 2 heterosexual parents others in single family homes.  At 12 I told my Mom I wanted to dance ballet. She said "You can't dance ballet. You're not gay." yeeeeah, well. I laugh about it now cuz I wanted to be an architect a month later and even though what I wanted to be changed often -her comment stuck with me to this day. Try as they might to discourage me from "gay" activities; I did not "turn" hetero. Constant bombarding at home, in society and on TV & the big screen didn't help make me "normal" I know many single gays and lesbians raising their kids without hiding who they are. I can attest that if anything these kids have a heightened sense of who they are and who others are intheir immediate surroundings. They don't judge or hate or tease others who are different because they are raises in homes that by their very existance teach tolerance and acceptance. Judge not lest ye be judged. Stop the hatred and the bigotry and give these kids a fighting chance at a better future.
