'Oklahoma, Kansas undermining gay adoptions is no way to fix foster care system plagued by child deaths' & other Tue midday news briefs

Oklahoma and Kansas set to ban LGBT adoption — instead of fixing foster care systems plagued by child deaths - Giving tax dollars to adoption agencies while allowing them to discriminate gays is not a good solution for Oklahoma and Kansas, two states plagued with child deaths in their foster care systems.

At ‘Ex-Gay’ Rally ‘Activist Mommy’ Warns Of ‘War On Our Children’ Hiding Behind Rainbow And Glitter - The same hypocritical "song and dance" that the LGBTQ community has been attacked by - "we don't wish to discriminate or harm gays, but they are nasty degenerates who are trying to recruit children . . etc. . . . etc."
