Banning adoption by gay couples.
You know how orphanages are empty and foster parents aren’t even needed anymore, because all kids are being adopted?
Yeah, me neither.
Nobody’s told Delegates Dick Black and Bob Marshall, though — they’ve introduced HB 2921, which would modify state adoption law, adding this one line:
No person under this statute may adopt if that person is a homosexual.
Of course, all studies make clear that children raised by gay parents are in no way different than children raised by straight parents. (Are we to believe that straight couples always produce straight children?)
Black and Marshall, anti-family guys that they are, say hey, screw the orphans. Better to have them shuffled around between foster homes or warehoused in orphanages than have them in a loving, stable home.
To be fair, Black and Marshall are insane. Not, like, hey, I disagree with them — I think that they’re probably, actually, insane. They’re a source of deep shame to their fellow Republicans, and a target of scorn among Democrats. But a law like this makes clear that they have no interest in acting in the best interests of anybody in the commonwealth — they’re just bitter, hateful, out-of-touch old men, a handful of pills away from the asylum.
