They weren’t just banning gays from adopting, the Arkansas law bans *all unmarried people* from adopting. It’s insanely extreme.

But the question remains: can gay couples marry in Arkansas? If not, I find this to be a tremendous slap in the face!

Sad for gay couples yes, 100x worse for children who could do with the stability and love they can offer 🙁

Is anyone planning on picketing in Arkansas? There are over 1/2 million kids in foster care waiting to be adopted. There are more than 65,000 GLBT folks who have adopted, over 14,000 who are fostering, and another 2 million who’ve expressed an interest in adopting in the future. These douche-bags have just cut off a bunch of needy kids from having a real family. Oh, yeah, that’s right! GLBT families aren’t considered real families.

We’ve got plenty of heat on the Mormons, but what about other bigoted religious nuts?
