OUR NEW REPUBLICAN FLORIDA GOVENOR CAME OUT AGAINST GAY PEOPLE ADOPTING CHILDREN INSTEAD LETTING THEM LANGUISH IN FOSTER HOMES OR WORSE INSTEAD OF BEING RAISED BY A LOVING COUPLE-- WITH ALL THE PRO LIFE PEOPLE IN FLORIDA WHY ARE THERE ANY CHILDREN WAITING TO BE ADOPTED???
(I have no objections to people voicing opposing/other views but I will delete any comments hostile, insulting or negative regarding gay people or attacks against them.)
Looking for gay families? Go south!

- The way we are. This article does a whole bunch of myth breaking. Check it out and make sure your Palin loving Republican cousin does too. Guess where a lot of gay parents are raising kids? New York? San Francisco? Atlanta? No, no, and no. It’s Jacksonville, Florida. The south is where you’ll find more same sex couples raising kids, and black and Latino couples “are twice as likely as whites to be raising children.”
- Barkley, gays, and MLK. Hall of Famer Charles Barkely isn’t the most artful guy when it comes to words; however, when the topic is GLBT his heart is always in the right spot. He, Ernie Johnson, and Chris Webber were talking about Martin Luther King, and the “Round Mound of Rebound” underscored King’s universal appeal: “You know, people try to make it about black and white. He talked about equality for every man, every woman. We have a thing going on now — people discriminating against homosexuality in this country. I love the homosexuality people. God bless the gay people. They are great people.”
- Tuscon guilt. Suzi Hileman’s body is slowly on the mend, but she still shouts Christina’s name in her sleep. Hileman took 9 year old Christina-Taylor Green to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ ”Congress on Your Corner” event, thinking the youngster would be excited to meet a representative. Intellectually Hileman knows she did nothing wrong, but that doesn’t keep the guilt at bay. “The sadness of it is bottomless,” said husband Bill Hileman “She took a friend’s kid away and didn’t bring her back.”
- Giffords’ progress. The congresswoman is able to stand on her feet, with some help, and has looked out of her hospital room window. Looks like come Friday she will be transported to the Institute for Rehabilitation and Research at Houston’s Memorial Hermann hospital, an institution that specializes in brain injuries.
- Look who is joining GOProud. Am no fan of Andrew Breitbart (sure he loses sleep over that), but it is a big feather in GOProud’s hat to have the media tycoon join its advisory council. “I applaud GOProud’s strong, principled conservatism and admire their courage to defy the left’s stifling demand for group conformity,” said Breitbart. “As a fierce opponent of the cultural Marxism and political correctness that divides Americans into different identity groups, I embrace the American motto E Pluribus Unum as an antidote to the Democratic Party’s divide and conquer strategy.” What is cultural Marxism? As for the Democratic Party’s love for division, maybe Breitbart should read up on the GOP’s southern strategy.
- GLAAD Media nominees. Congrats to all the bloggers nominated!
- Once you call someone a Nazi, who isn’t, your credibility is gone. The American political scene is filled with clowns. Our ability to use Nazi nomenclature, when describing political opponents, shows a profound lack of imagination and historical knowledge. Take Rep. Steve Cohen, from the good state of Tennessee. He went on the House floor to discuss the Republican attempt to repeal last year’s health care law. “They say it’s a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels,” Cohen said. “The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it — believed it and you have the Holocaust. We heard on this floor, government takeover of health care. Politifact said the biggest lie of 2010 was a government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover.” Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sure the congressman should point to the chasm between Republican talking points describing health care reform, and what it actually does, but no need to resort to a trick best utilized by bar drunks.
