MIAMI (AP) " A judge on Tuesday ruled that a strict Florida law that blocks gay people from adopting children is unconstitutional, declaring there was no legal or scientific reason for sexual orientation alone to prohibit anyone from adopting.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman said the 31-year-old law violates equal protection rights for the children and their prospective gay parents, rejecting the state's arguments that there is "a supposed dark cloud hovering over homes of homosexuals and their children."
She noted that gay people are allowed to be foster parents in Florida. "There is no rational basis to prohibit gay parents from adopting," she wrote in a 53-page ruling.
Hell, ain't a bad place to be.
@dyslexia,
Pro-FAGS????
Dammit Dys, I thought you meant the judge overturned those idiotic "smoking bans" in bars!
Does the title of this thread mean a judge is pro a bundle of sticks? Pro cigarettes? Pro being tired (all fagged out)?
If the title of this thread means a judge is pro gays, then why does that merit a thread? Is it not 2008, and is Florida not a progressive state?
Also, if gays adopt children, that is less of a burden on a foster care system, and a child adopted (by gays) does not age out of a foster care system. It seems like a win-win situation, except possibly for someone that might have a negative opinion regarding gays being parents?
@Foofie,
yeah dys, you gay fag basher.
@dyslexia,
Those activist judges at it again!

No, it is, and yes, it is not.
@dyslexia,
Pro-fag judges in Florida? I'm pretty sure this is mentioned in the
Apocalypse somewhere. Something about the "Whore of Miami" and a seven-headed monster emering from the surf. There were lots of "behold"s in there, too. You better all move to Alaska and wait for the rapture.

@dyslexia,
Dys, I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that you would assail our eyes with such uncouth language.
BBB
It took a couple of years, but most of you were clever enough to figure out Dys' sense of humor quite a while ago.
Provocative, never, not our Dys...
I wish you all could see his sly version of Groucho Marx.
Thomas, your post should be saved in a list of classic posts by a2k members.
It is still making me chuckle. My mental image is detailed with people we all know, including bits of thier conversation along with the men expressing a slightly unhealthy anticipation of meeting Sarah Palin.
