Another Victory For Jeebo-Fascists

Oops, we mean God-Fearing "Values" (cough) Christians. Funny how it's hard to tell them apart these days...

Anyways,... we were checking out the headlines over at Yahoo, and what should we see but an article titled 'Supreme Court Lets Stand Florida's Gay Adoption Ban'. The money quotes:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Monday to hear a constitutional challenge to a 1977 Florida law that bans gays and lesbians from adopting children, the only such state law in the nation.

Without comment, the high court declined to consider whether the law, which was adopted at the height of entertainer Anita Bryant's anti-homosexual campaign, unfairly singled out gays and lesbians in violation of their constitutional rights.

[-snip-]

A federal judge in Miami and a U.S. appeals court upheld the law. The Atlanta-based appeals court said the issue of gay adoptions should be decided by the Florida legislature, not by the courts

Isn't it interesting to note that, in some states, (besides the rich who live by a completely different set of rules than the rest of us), some people are more equal than others? Maybe Florida should make all of those homos wear something on their clothes. Some sort of symbol so that all the God fearing Christians would know they were homos - you know, so that they could proselytize them and make them see the error of their sinful ways, or humiliate them publicly? And so that all the God fearing Christians would be able to shun their businesses, picket their employers and get them out of the work force. Maybe you could make it illegal for gays to work for the government while you're at it? And illegal for gays to collect unemployment or social security? That would show them queers what real God fearing Christian people think about their blasphemous lifestyle choice.

It sure shows us another example of the Compassionate Conservatism that anyone who still sides with these Repugnicant bastiches is promoting (whether they think they are or not).
