I’m from the UK, this link was sent to me by a friend, for Sociology purposes she thought i may be interested, and i indeed, am very interested…

I feel sorry for those couples who dont fit into the criterea, for example if i lived there and this bill was passed, i would never have children as i am Pagan / Wiccan, i don’t go to church and my idea of a job isn’t the usual 9-5, all this said i still think i would make a damned good parent, as would the majority of the people that this would affect.
As for gay / lesbian couples i see nothing wrong with them adopting children or having a “donor”, this is not morally wrong, this is not un natural..and to all of this i ask why in heck’s name they’re trying to pass this bill?
i know many people who have single parents and they have been brought up better than some of the yobs with two parents.

LOL, I’m glad she’s out there protecting us fine upstanding citizens from catching the gay. Because, really, it’s such a fundamentally larger problem than, say, rebuilding New Orleans, the war in Iraq, or rising fuel prices. Keep reaching for the stars, Senator!

There are days…

There are days when – glad as I am to be outside the U.S. border – I wonder if we exaggerated the dangers of staying. This is not one of those days.

Looks like Miller’s measure has been tabled. Evidently she got more flack–and phone calls—than she anticipated.

On the tour of Kinsey I made last month, the guide told the group that every couple years, or so, the self-proclaimed evangelical Christians in the Hoosier Statehouse try to cut all state funding from the institute.

The chosen remedy is to send someone from the faculty to tell them why they are being a bunch of cry babies because they feel offended by sex, i.e. reminds the good legislators that Kinsey is the preeminent repository for the modern history of sexual artifacts.

Then again, these people would rather these items to have never existed. So it’s no wonder to me why the place is so tucked away. I practically live on the IU campus, and I had to reference a map a couple times to find it.

(Note that, as opposed to what many reporters claim, the Institute is *not* located in what many incorrectly call the “Biology Building”, but in a corner of a tucked-away building that one could feasibly never enter in the time it takes to earn a degree here.)

…well, golly.

Used to that kind of mind-set here in The South, but I was under the impression y’all were a bit more grounded in reality. Not so, it would seem.

Uhhh….the cynic in me wants to suggest passage of such legislation would represent an opportunity to provide natural insemination services for Hoosier ladies….

But seriously, folks: This is just a small group of wingnuts grandstanding, right? No real chance of passage.

cheers,

I didn’t blog about this yesterday because I was hoping that it would just go away. No such luck!

“The problem with this law is it doesn’t have protections to keep married bitches from running around acting like they own their own uteruses.”

Oh no she di’int. Where to start on this absolutely bizarre political grandstanding from the no-adjective-could-possibly-capture-her-hatefulness Patricia Miller pictured at right?Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make marria…
