The states of Tennessee and Kentucky are proposing laws that ban single, unmarried, or gay people from adopting. In the case of Kentucky (I'm not sure about Tennessee), if the law passes, any parent who is single, unmarried, or gay will have their adopted child taken away from them by the state. Because, you know, the well being of child is being threatened by singledom or gaydom, and it wouldn't traumatize the child at all to have the state take them away from their home and throw them back in foster care for an indeterminate period of time.
Fuckin' South.
If I didn't have homework to do, I'd write more about it. But I will (don't you worry). And I'll also provide ways that you can help defeat this archaic, harmful laws.
