Bill making it legal to ban gays & lesbians from adopting passes in Oklahoma
Source: LGBTQ Nation

The Oklahoma House passed a bill yesterday that would allow adoption and foster care agencies to discriminate against parents whose lives violate the sincerely held religious beliefs of the agency.
The Adoption Protection Act passed the GOP-controlled house in a 60-26 vote. A similar bill has already passed the Oklahoma Senate.
Supporters of the bill stressed that the states foster care system is overloaded.

not having sex with other men my "gay problem" is solved. BTW my son was
babysat by 2 wonderful lesbians in my neighborhood and they were the best of
the best and they were very protective of my son who is now 23, a father, 3 classes
away from his degree, and is going to get married soon.
