It said that the 1-year-old boy who had been living with his foster parents was "happy and thriving" — and that a permanent adoption made perfect sense.

It should be a simple story with a happy ending.

Except it is not.

That judge's ruling — which focused solely on the child's well-being — enraged some on the religious right.

Why? Because the little boy's adoptive parents are gay.

So now those who profit from division are pouncing.

They aren't the people who have cared for this little boy, who have nursed his wounds and tucked him in at night. In fact, they haven't done a thing for him.

They haven't consulted the experts — everyone from a child psychologist to a Guardian ad Litem — who say the parents provide precisely the loving environment that this child needs.

All these critics know is that they don't want gay people to have the same rights as straight people.

So they want him separated from the parents who love him.

"Arrogant judicial activism" was how the finger-waggers at Orlando's Florida Family Policy Council described the ruling in an alert it sent out to its members last week.

And to make their point about just how frightening this ruling was, the Policy Council included a photograph of the couple — a strange and androgynous-looking duo, one with bleached skin and both with mullet haircuts. The couple look so odd (you literally can't tell whether they are male or female) that one might wonder how any judge could place a young child with such a disturbing-looking duo.

Except the judge didn't.

The abnormal-looking couple that the Policy Council chose to illustrate this story is not the same couple granted the right to adopt the child.

No, the two-woman couple awarded custody of the 1-year-old — South Florida trade-show executive Vanessa Alenier and her partner, Melanie Leon — look more like J.Crew models: all-American with catalogue clothes and smiles.

The picture that the Policy Council chose was a grotesque caricature.

These are the dirty tactics of Christianity's far-right warriors.

Not the majority of mainstream Christians, mind you. Not those who are focused on caring for their own families and practicing their own faith — but those who are obsessed with homosexuality.

These extremists wage their campaigns of intolerance based on deception and misrepresentation.

And they have the gall to do it in God's name.

On some twisted level, you can see why they have been reduced to misleading histrionics.

Because they are losing the fight.

Florida is the last state in the U.S. with an outright ban on gay adoption. And three court rulings in recent months suggest the archaic law may be on its last legs.

The rationale for preventing balanced, loving parents from adopting children — when the state has a backlog of needy children, no less — is hard to justify in concept.

And when you actually look at the specifics of human lives involved in real cases — the way Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Maria Sampedro-Iglesia did last month — it's darn near impossible.

In considering the case, Judge Sampedro-Iglesia heard from family members, a child psychologist, the boy's preschool administrator, a social worker and the state-appointed Guardian ad Litem.

All of them, the judge wrote in her order, "testified in support of the adoption as being in the best interest of the child."

The state did not offer a single witness to rebut that claim.

"The only testimony elicited today," the judge said at the end of the hearing, "was that [the 1-year-old] is loved by these parents more than they even thought that someone could be loved."

So the judge ruled that he could stay with the two women — one of whom is related to the boy. (Child-welfare workers had taken him shortly after he was born. Alenier and Leon stepped up, offering to raise him — much to the delight of their extended family.)

Still, the fringes didn't care about the family's wishes. They don't like equal rights, period. So the howling began.

We could ignore those who are obsessed with denying rights to others if they weren't so skilled at politics. What they lack in honesty they make up for in effective campaigning, getting politicians to do their bidding.

The problem they face, however, is that it's tough to make the case for discrimination when you start looking at real cases involving real people and real children.

Once you start substituting facts for demagoguery, those who profit from trying to use religion as a wedge are left with little more than fear-mongering … and fake pictures.

The Family Policy Council says the child is being used as "a political pawn."

And they are right about that.

Only, it's not the two women who love and care for this little boy who are using him that way.



On the left are two random people the religious idiots used to say gay people shouldnt have right to adopt children. The couple on the left are the two lesbian women who wanted to adopt the child, after caring for the child for a while, and one of them was even related to the child. But religious officials and politicians wanted the child given to a random couple that didnt know the child because they didnt want a gay couple to have the same adoption rights as straight people. Ugh. Religion is such an old-fashioned concept in life. People need to stop being so idiotic, believe in God or whatever they want but stop following religion. Religion is a nice name for a cult. Im all for personal faith but religion is for idiots! ]]> General Discussion Lewymocha Original http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/general-discussion/1015940-religion-old-fashioned-bollocks-parents-seperated-child-cause-theyre-gay.html Bandaids X Factor is Back!! http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/bandaiders-com-news-updates/1015919-bandaids-x-factor-back.html Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:27:09 GMT http://i50.tinypic.com/5cbmmw.pngAll you crazy musicians out there, I have very good news!

He also said that he's loving what he's heard of Sum 41's new material that they're preparing for their upcoming album. When asked if he had any plans to tour with Avril in the future, he said "hmmmmmmmmmmm". We'll just have to cross our fingers!
