Aunt B. has more. To fully appreciate the truly Orwellian nature of this bill, you must read her post, now.
---------------------------------------
Tennessee’s jobless rate is nearly 8%, we have an environmental disaster in the east part of the state and retirees losing promised healthcare benefits, we have Tennessee’s higher education system facing budget cuts, and what is the priority for Evangelical Christian Republican Paul Stanley of Memphis?Senator Stanley wants to know what’s happening in your bedroom. I bring you *SB 0078 , filed today at the state legislature:
Adoption - Prohibits any individual who is cohabitating in a sexual relationship outside of a marriage that is valid under the constitution and laws of this state from adopting a minor. - Amends TCA Title 36 and Title 49.
In other words, it bans adoptions by gays and lesbians and anyone else who is unmarried and living with a partner.
Hey, Paul Stanley: it’s none of your business what people do in their bedrooms.
Shame on you. Shame on you! What a horrid little man.
I’ll have more to say about this later but right now I wanted to let people know that with all the important issues facing the people of Tennessee, the one that Paul Stanley wants to tackle is preventing unmarried folks from adopting children.
Pass the popcorn, this is going to get interesting.
