Banning Adoption?
I was listening to a debate on banning gay and lesbian adoptions last night on the radio, which made me so furious, even more mad than the ever present LA early evening traffic in front of me. There are so many children in the world who need parents, and these people are trying to keep them from finding homes, because of their own need to somehow demonize homosexuality and define it like it is some kind of inherent weakness. It makes me sick and it makes me want to be in a mosh pit with them so I can throw an elbow into their face.
I have no real context for violence in my life except for the precious few times I have accidentally found myself in the periphery of a pit at a live show. It’s weird how it starts off as a bunch of geeky girls with lunchboxes and a single rose for Lloyd Cole, and then it suddenly turns into a writhing mass of angry male bodies with big legs stomping and kicking in hard toe boots and board shorts. Anyway, if I were ever to hit someone, or if I had in the past, it would have had to be in the pit.
What exactly do these homophobic idiots think is good for children? For them to just waste away unwanted and unloved in the system because at least they won’t be exposed to Project Runway? The Dinah Shore Golf Tournament? I happen to think that gays and lesbians would be better at taking care of children, because the truth is, it is hard to be different in this society, no matter what is said about tolerance, and how many new holidays are created, and when you have to struggle because you are not like the rest, you just tend to be better than the rest. They try to reason that the break up rate is high for homosexual couples, but when every other heterosexual marriage ends in divorce, isn’t that the pot calling the kettle ‘non-committal’?
