What the Hell is Wrong with the State of Virginia?

| | Comments (2)

You have to wonder what is going on in Virginia.

First they are trying to pass (and most likely will pass) a constitutional amendment against gay marriage. They further said that civil unions or anything that approximated marriage would not be honored in the state as a recognized relationship.

Now, they are trying to put a lid on gay couples who are willing and able to adopt children.

You know, this happened once before, and this is exactly how it started in Germany when the Germans started stripping the Jews and other groups of their rights, one by one. No one said anything. And we all know where that went. But this is a state. Do the people of the State of Virginia have no decency?

What will they try to do next, pass a bill that requires all homosexuals in the state to wear pink triangles?

RICHMOND, Va. A bill that would make it difficult for homosexual couples to adopt children advanced in the House today despite concerns about how it would be enforced.

Whether couples are practicing homosexuals would become part of the background investigation for adoption if the legislation becomes law.

Arlington Democrat Robert Brink ridiculed the bill by asking if investigators would look for show tunes or Judy Garland CD's in the petitioner's home to determine whether they were homosexuals.

The bill’s sponsor, Loudoun Republican Richard Black, countered concerns by saying the investigators would ask neighbors, look at police records and inquire of the prospective parents. He says it is just going to be an additional area of scrutiny.

The gay adoption bill faces a final House vote early next week. (source)

I think you are right about that. Sometimes, I just don't understand some people. I honestly don't. It's like we are from completely different worlds.

They forget history so easily. Don't give them any ideas!
