HRC Condemns Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s Statement of Support for LGBT Adoption Ban

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Why do you keep bringing up blacks? Can't you discuss the topic?

Who is being deprived of anything? We ARE our children's parents.

Because self segregating black locales have the problem of depleted family structure the most. The results are disastrous. Allowing homo family arrangements only contributes to an existing problem.

You can't deal with the empirical? Your focus is on the anecdotal but when I illustrate a more comprehensive problem you can't handle it.

You would have to be seriously deranged-I mean back ward deranged- or profoundly retarded to believe this bovine excrement . I've going to give you the benefit of the doubt and conclude that you are just playing a sick and perverted mind fuck game. I'm not playing anymore.

I've given you empirical evidence and you can't handle it. Your problem, not mine.

OK You do in fact seem to believe that. Now I have to rule out the mind fuck theory and go with my previous assessment of you.

I found this story out of backwards Mississippi particularly disturbing in light of the enormous gains made by LGBT people in recent years and culminating in the SCOTUS ruling in Obergefell that bans on same sex marriage are unconstitutional. This stance on adoption not only goes against the tide of the evolving standards of human decency by perpetuating discrimination, but also harms children who are in need of a loving home as well as those who are currently in the care of gay people and who could benefit by a second parent adoption by the legal parent’s partner.

This policy is especially irrational and hateful in view of the fact that Mississippi is the only state in the country with such a ban in place. Moreover, many states have been allowing adoption by gay people long before marriage was even on the radar. In my state of New Jersey, joint adoption by same sex couples has been allowed since 1997, the first state to officially do so. It was not much of an issue then and it certainly is not one now. How is it possible that two states in the United States are existing is such a disparate moral, logical and legal reality?

Gov. Bryant’s support of a state law that enshrines discrimination is shameful, especially coming at a time when it is imperative that we find permanent families and safe, loving homes for every child - including many in Mississippi currently in foster care,” said Rob Hill, HRC Mississippi State Director. “We call on Attorney General Jim Hood to come down on the right side of history -- don’t defend the ban, allow it to become another discarded artifact of discrimination.”

The case presents challenges to the ban from the perspective of a parent who is unable to receive legal recognition of her parental status because her spouse is the child’s legal parent and also a woman; it also challenges the prohibition of a same-sex couple to adopt a child through the foster care system. Despite the discriminatory ban, which has been in place since 2000, Mississippi has the highest number of LGBT people raising children.

“With one-third of Mississippi’s 3,484 same-sex couples already raising children and 100 Mississippi youth in foster care waiting for loving adoptive homes, shame on the governor for trying to keep Mississippi tethered to a discriminatory past.” Hill said.

No data supports your claim. You saying it over and over isn't evidence.

This is evidence...

Psychologist in same-sex case says parents gender irrelevant in child care - The Donaldson Adoption Institute

Tell your psychologist to visit every black community in the country and get some empirical perspective.
What's more, intentionally depriving a human of the right to the opportunity to be raised by his actual parents is beyond rude and selfish. It's cruel.

Why do you keep bringing up blacks? Can't you discuss the topic?

Who is being deprived of anything? We ARE our children's parents.

Because self segregating black locales have the problem of depleted family structure the most. The results are disastrous. Allowing homo family arrangements only contributes to an existing problem.

You still have not explained what that has to do with gays and their children.

You're trying to compare single parent households to intact ones. That's way beyond apples and oranges.

I'm demonstrating empirically that kids need both genders. Plenty of single mom homes in mostly black neighborhoods are essentially intact in the sense that necessary financial resources are there and opportunity for success still exists.
The problem is the kids lack that innately necessary gender role model. Usually it's a missing father.
Homo marriage contributes to that same problem by denying both gender role models in the home. It's very simple and the results are very clear. Just not convenient to those who want to push their self-focused and/or misguided agenda.

Empirical doesn't mean what you think it does. You're providing your opinion, not evidence. Actual evidence does NOT support your opinion.

Children need two parents for the best outcomes, gender is immaterial.

If it is observed repeatedly for generations and has the same outcomes it is as empirical as it gets.
Children need a mother and a father.

Equine excrement. Read the research. I posted it right here not long ago. Then explain how, by not allowing gays to adopt, all of those kids will in fact have a mother and a father, if that were really the most important thing. THINK FOR YOURSELF MAN!

Many people despise her....

She somehow associates herself with the LGBT movement.....

And people will despise them by association.

Most gays I know wish none of this happened or hit the air waves.

They say it's tough enough without all the media crapp.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Actual data is compellingly empirical. Look at every mostly black jurisdiction in the country. Gets no clearer than that.

Wait, what? Now you're comparing single parenthood? Children do best with two parents. Data proves that the gender of those parents is immaterial.

Wrong, neocon. The data shows kids need both parents, mom and dad.

No, actually it doesn't. What the data shows is that the children of gays are at no disadvantage to the children of heterosexuals.

Children in gay adoptions at no disadvantage - Health News - Health Families - The Independent

Anecdotally almost anything can be justified. Empirically, communities suffer when the culture becomes influenced by a large number of homes devoid of both parents. Homo parenting contributes to that problem at least potentially. It is reckless to allow for homo and single parent adoption when the option for both genders is available.

It is interesting and telling to note how you, and the others here who rail against gay adoption can do nothing more than make vague and generalized pronouncements, and spew invectives like "homo" without actually making an argument. It's quite obvious that you are weak minded , intellectually deficient and morally bankrupt.

This also illustrates why bans on gay Americans seeking to adopt are clearly un-Constitutional, a violation of the 14th Amendment, where such bans are completely devoid of a rational basis as well as any facts or evidence in support, bans motivated solely by an unwarranted hostility toward gay Americans, absent a proper legislative end.

The aim for adoption should always give hetro couples priority. Alternatives should only be considered as necessitated. But backwards lefties and homofascists want to bypass what's best for kids as empirically demonstrated over the past fifty years and give single parents and homos equal dibs from the jump. Counterproductive, dated and cruelly arrogant.

[C_Clayton_Jones]

As a Florida court held in 2010:

'The decision by Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal said that Florida’s adoption law, which bans adoption by gay men and lesbians while allowing them to be foster parents, had “no rational basis” and thus violated the equal protection clause in the State Constitution. Judge Gerald B. Cope Jr. wrote the opinion, which affirmed a 2008 decision from a lower court.'

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/us/23adopt.html

Mississippi's law is also devoid of a rational basis, and should be repealed or invalidated by the courts.
