Who will save the children?

Alabama is next in the stupidity parade: the state legislature is considering a bill that would prohibit gays from adopting children. It's likely to pass, but I suppose also likely not to pass muster with the courts.

What bothers me is that children in Alabama already wait an average of almost two years to be adopted -- why would anyone want to make that situation worse? Adoption is about finding loving parents for children, not about placing a societal stamp on couples or fulfilling their family dreams. The right-wing is so busy rushing to judgement of people they don't like that their principles are bouncing out of their pockets.
