Ye gods -- literally.
This is just freaking weird. The Colorado state senate is presently considering the Civil Unions Act. Senate Republicans are suggesting that passage of the act would result in adoption agencies going out of business. They are especially concerned that agencies that serve adoptions from China would disappear from the state. The fundies are proposing an amendment that would make it legal for adoption agencies to exercise anti-gay discrimination, that the wishes of the birth mother should take precedence over the best interests of the child.
Honestly, their prissy umbrage is a fucking embarrassment to the people of Colorado.
As I typed this the amendment was voted down.
