Comments on: Florida AG prepares appeal in gay adoption case http://www.365gay.com/news/florida-ag-prepares-appeal-in-gay-adoption-case/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:48:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: SteveMD2 http://www.365gay.com/news/florida-ag-prepares-appeal-in-gay-adoption-case/comment-page-1/#comment-34574 SteveMD2 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:41:10 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=4495#comment-34574 "Judicial activism" - that is the same old story the bigots keep using. Isn't judicial activism what has been the basis for most of the social progress in our nation, while religious bigotry and lust for power and dominance by victimizing some minority group has been the root of most of our social tragedies, including segregation, slavery, giving blacks the right to vote, women being second class citizens for so long, integrating our armed forces, and ending the bans on inter-racial marriage. Will these blind people ever change? Or is this a generational problem - eg despite the religious wrong's enormous campaign, prop 8 would have been rejected if those over 65 were not allowed to vote. And if only those under eg 35 were allowed to vote, it would have been crushingly defeated. “Judicial activism” – that is the same old story the bigots keep using.

Down here, they think that sending children to live with their "drug,alcohol,physical, emotional, verbal & sometimes "sexual" parents, have a better place instead of a loving, nuturing environment. It sickens me to be a Floridian. In this most religious, south ass backward state. If I could afford to, I would have moved from here long ago. This is a TRUE HATE FILLED STATE.

We are still struggling to come into the 20th century, never mind the 21st. Obviously the DCF is more interested in promoting their agenda of hate and bigotry than the welfare of children in its care.
