Bud:

Sigh it will never work out the blue states will somehow subsidize the red states and we eventually will get a nut job for a president(its almost here) and he will convince the blue states to pay to have the bigotry of the red states subsidized.
Heck if we can have a president that wants to legalize hate speech against us, it is sooner than you think.

That’s life here in Kentucky. No, it’s NOT morally defensible nor socially enlightened. Our state has a reputation for being backwards and ignorant; that reputation is well deserved.

Another example of why equal marriage rights matter.

How discouraging that it is to see the Appeals court blasting a judge that was looking out for the best interests of the child.

As much as I hate to admit it, I actually think the Court of Appeals is correct about with regard to Kentucky adoption. Where I disagree with the Court is that the parties’ sexual orientation has no bearing on the application of the law. While technically true because unmarried heterosexual partners who wish to parent together are affected by these laws, the Court seems to almost totally ignore the fact that heterosexual partners have an obvious remedy — they can get married; we can’t.

I have little hope that the Kentucky legislature will see the disparity here and correct it so that my partner can adopt my son. However, maybe this presents a very good opportunity to do some community organizing and develop our political muscles in this red state.

By the way, Bud Clark, if red states secede, what happens to all the blue people in those red states?

Roger, not sure what you say they are whining about. However the Court was right to rule as it did. The people in Kentucky and the members of the Kentucky Legislature are the ones that are wrong. But again the Court of Appeals was correct to rule as it did.
