Gingrich on Same-Sex Adoption
01/12/12, 21:32
It was a few years ago. The agency's employees had no problem placing children with gay parents. Doing otherwise would have meant breaking Mass's anti-discrimination law. The Vatican caught wind, and not long after, four bishops in charge of the agency asked Romney to be exempted from the law. He said no. They also planned to mount a legal defense using money that would otherwise have gone to getting kids adopted. They employees threatened to leave en masse if that happened, and eventually the bishops pulled the plug.
By the way, they were spending roughly $40 mil/yr in mostly government money to place 30 kids (out of hundreds more). Now, *I* don't see a problem with that, but it sure seems like Newt's abandoning his core "save money by fucking over the weak" Republican values here. |

There are a couple of subtleties I failed to mention. The diocese had placed kids with gay couples in the past, but had been slapped down by the Vatican for doing so. The bishop is probably not a clear bad guy here.
Also, it happened in Massachusetts, while Romney was governor, so that's probably why Newt's making a big deal about it. |

And fuck Newt for making a bunch of homophobic, child-sacrificing crybabies look like the victim here. Thank god he's so unelectable. |

AFAIK it's actually closer to how Newt described it. Mass. said: "if you want to provide adoption services, you have to allow gays to adopt," and the archbishop closed them in a huff.
Is it ok to have private, politically motivated adoption centers? I'd say no, but it's at least tolerable if they don't break laws. Here, the state stepped in to prevent that from happening.
In my view, you don't get a pass for shit like that because you believe it. You're accountable for them. That's not the big bad secularists trying to remove religion from the public sphere, it's caring people deciding in the absence of a fixed ideology that gays shouldn't be the new mixed-race couples, and at least in Massachusetts, they're winning.
They chose to close. If you ask me, they should close the diocese while they're at it. |

The saddest thing is a retarded man who is crying and promising a broken egg that it will be a chicken someday.
And that they'll play together in a field when it gets better. |

'I like firing people...' Mitt Romney

The reason Obama chose Biden as VP was so that we'd short of actually removing him from office. It was a brilliant move. |

Does he say "I like firing people" later on or is everyone just acting disingenuous because he's Republican? |
