Online poll from a local news organization.

1. Done and voted. Oh, will somebody tell the 25% who voted 'yes'

that they should put their money where their fingers are and adopt and take care of all the children. I betcha they'll find a way to squirm out of it.

2. The next step: take away their own children

Edited on Wed Apr-20-05 08:18 PM by IanDB1

The same thing was done in Australia and America to the natives.

Their children were taken away to be raised in "nice, Christian homes" by white people.

They are now known as "The Lost Generation."

The Catholic Church did something not all that different during The Holocaust.

When they rescued Jewish children from the Nazis, they baptized the kids, raised them Catholic, and refused to return them to their surviving family members.

How convenient that The Vatican was complicit in having their parents taken away in the first place!

And John Paul II refused to turn over the adoption records.

"Family Values" my ass!

3. I'm acquainted with a couple from NJ who moved to KS

They have a legal adoption from NJ and moved out there to take a job at Kansas Univ. They lived in my little bastion of a liberal oasis called Maplewood NJ. They had twins. I feel badly for them and for any gay/lesbian who is in Kansas. I admire their fight. It is the kind of stuff that the Nazi's began oppressing the Jews with.

4. Lawrence, Kansas is a little bastion of a liberal oasis too.

At the State level, assholes are trying to persecute, but they'll find support at the local level.

5. Well they moved to the only liberal place in the state. Douglass county

defeated the marriage amendment with 60% voting no. It is the only county in the state that did not pass the amendment.

6. We don't need a #2 on this!

Right now Florida is the only state that bans gay adoption.
Kansas should not become #2.
