Happy Endings: Sidestepping Gay Adoption Ban

200608-babyfeet.jpg

• Fine, we get it: The Boy Scouts don't want homos running their programs. But that doesn't mean a newspaper needs to agree with them — and go so far as to call sexual orientation discrimination a "non-issue." [Northeast Times, via]

• A brilliant answer to a needless problem: On the heels of Archbishop George Niederauer forbidding San Francisco's Catholic Charities from placing foster children with gay couples, the non-profit org is teaming up with California Kids Connection to act as a middleman — and thus bypass SFCC's anti-gay mandate. [ABC San Francisco]

• Don't think Jake and Heath are the only homos on the big screen. Robin Williams plays a gay man in The Night Listener,while Little Miss Sunshine has Steve Carell and The Groomsmen features John Leguiizamo going gay. Meanwhile, Quinceanera and Shock to the System: A Donald Strachey Mystery both feature members of the family. [LA Daily News]

• U.S. Senate candidate Katherine Harris (R-Fl.) is facing even more controversy, with her fourth campaign manager tied to an org that's accused of using fraudlent practices to collect signatures on anti-gay rights petitions. [Raw Story]

buzz says:

as for homos in major-release films, don't forget Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G), as a gay French racecar driver in TALLADEGA NIGHTS. all things considered, it's easily the most subversive of the bunch. the movie on the whole ain't that great, but the climax is pretty audacious.
