Anti-Gay, Anti-Family

I read the "Anti-gay, Anti- Family article" in the New York Times Newspaper by Dan Savage . It talks about the approval of anti-gay amendments in Florida, Arkansas, and California where eighteen thousand same sex couples were married just this past Summer and Fall. All this happened because of proposition 8, which now bans same sex couples and heterosexual couples from adopting children if they are not married. The same sex cuoples marriages are in jeapordy, so adopting a child doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. It sucks that in order to keep homosexuals from adopting children that the people who voted for this had to also keep heterosexuals from adopting also or it would be unconstitutional. In order to make life hard for others who may seem different, they corrupted the chances of others who may be the same as the epople who voted for this proposition. I strongly believe that same sex couples should be able to adopt a child just as a heterosexual couple should be able to whether you are married or not. There are so many families in this world where the child(ren) either have a aingle mom or a single dad and they are out there providing for their children and putting food on the table, helping them make it to college and still being there for them bc THEY ARE STILL A "NORMAL" FAMILY. No matter if a child may have just their mom or just their dad, that perent still loves and cares for them as any parent would. I don't see why they wouldn't want a child who needs a home to be able to live in a homosexual house hold. Research shows that just because your parents are homosexual does NOT mean that their children will be. Anybody can grow up with same sex parents and be heterosexual. It's happened all the time. So what now, Are they gonna make so new law saying that if you are homosexual you can't have children? Because let's say a homosexual male has sex with a female and the female gives all custodity him, will he not be able to keep the child? The same question can be asked for a female, and she's the one who actually goes through the labor, will they take her child away if she is a lesbian? I just think that it is down right ridiculous!
