The Homophobic Arkansas Adoption Ban that Discriminates Against Heterosexuals too

// November 11th, 2008 // All things LGBT

With all eyes on California, the hideous Arkansas proposition (Proposed Initiative Act No. 1) that bans people who are “cohabitating outside a valid marriage” from serving as foster parents or adopting children has received scant attention in the media.

57% of people in Arkansas are so homophobic that they have effectively denied unmarried heterosexual couples and single people the right to adopt children.

57% of voters in Arkansas are so repulsed by homosexuality that they have denied the 3700 children in Arkansas state custody, stable and loving family homes.

57% of Arkansas voters are so adverse to homosexuality that they would rather add millions more to their state expenditures to continue to keep those children in custody.

I think this video does a great job of expressing my emotions from the 2 minute mark:

Exit polls suggest that men are a little more idiotic than women by a gaping 7 percentage points.

Again the vote by age is quite interesting -

Guess evolution in the political process works in mysterious ways — the idiots are more likely to die before the people with a little bit more sense. Long-term Natural selection anyone?
