Bad bills becoming law: Adoption discrimination

Posted on 07/20/2011 @ 07:47 PM

SB1188 | marital preferences; adoption

This may be the meanest bill passed in 2011: SB1188 puts gay and lesbian couples at the back of the line for adopting children, behind heterosexual couples. Studies have found no difference in the health and performance of children raised by either heterosexual or homosexual parents. So when children are in need of supportive, loving parents, why would our state discriminate? Gov. Brewer and the Russell Pearce Republicans chose their own ideology over the quality of life for these children.
