Religious right tantrums because of lgbt families

I rarely read the to-the-right-of Atilla The Hun publication The Washington Times but an item today regarding President Obama and the lgbt community caught my eye:

Mr. Obama expressed his support for such priorities by using his Father's Day proclamation to elevate the status of homosexual "families" as if they could rear our youth just as well as a traditional family consisting of a mom (female) and dad (male). "Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by a father and mother, a single father, two fathers, a stepfather, a grandfather or caring guardian," he wrote.

Kids with two mommies and two daddies happens to be the goal of the Labor Department's latest policy. The department is using the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to force companies to accept up to 12 weeks of leave every year for homosexual couples that adopt children. The Obama administration issued a ruling that modified the definition of "son or daughter" so that homosexual couples could take extra time off to "bond with that child." The change is designed to appeal to fringe, left-wing activists. "The Labor Department's action today sends a clear message to workers and employers alike: All families, including LGBT families, are protected by the FMLA," Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis explained in a June 22 statement.

Mr. Obama's policies are undermining the foundation of the family itself. For the long-term good of the country, members of Congress should take note of what's happening and act to undo the radical social agenda.

I got the item from Daily Kos who summed the piece up rather nicely:

The Washington Times editorial board is nuts.

And to me, it's not just The Washington Times. Over the past week and a half since Obama issued his lgbt family-inclusive Father's Day proclamation, conservative and religious right groups have voiced their disagreement - and not in the sly semantical terms which so many lgbts have gotten used to.

These folks have been very vocal , very ridiculous, and very rude  in terms of how they define lgbt families. It should be something which gets one upset until one realizes what's happening here.

These folks are throwing a tantrum. No matter how flowery the language they use, or how they try to fake being upstanding and moral, it all comes down to the image of a spoiled child kicking and screaming simply because he can't get his way.
