"Gay Dads Welcome New Baby in Lexington, KY"

I'm suprised that carnival operators haven't hit the Gay, Lesbian, and Transgendered
crowd with an unfair competition lawsuit.

This is worthy of a "Barf Alert"

This is not new. A few years ago, the Arts and Entertainment network had a special about two gay men who were raising two girls around the age of ten. If my memory serves me, each of the men had fathered one of the girls with a surrogate mother. What haunts my memory is the girls being interviewed about the situation and saying that they approved. How can any responsible adult ask a child that kind of question?

Who says KY is "conservative" now?

[Theodore R.]

No, moral corruption is never "new", is it? I did not mean to imply that this situation is particularly abnormal in this continuing Age of Clinton.

[Smocker]

The whole thing is deranged.
Verity wanted all the babies to be related, what about the 3 she has in her own marriage, are they to be considered step brothers and sisters of the gay couples' children?

Are they being deprived of the company of their siblings?


Depriving the babies of baptism would have been wrong anyway, it would have been punishing the children for the parents' sins.

So the two guys sharing parenting duties are also hiring an aupair. Wonder will it be a lesbina, gay or straight female or male? How does one sort it all out?

what if they 'divorce'? Or don't gays divorce?

Sad, very sad. symptomatic of a sick society.

To be quite honest I don't know about any laws on the books that allow or don't allow this type of "adoption", but I do know that here in rural Kentucky there has been quite a bit of excitement about this, most of it decidedly against such actions. Unfortunately, nearly half of the state's population is in Louisville and Lexington (our versions of New York City and San Francisco), so it will be quite hard to get a law banning such "adoptions" onto the books.

[Republican Wildcat]

Downtown Lexington is pretty much San Francisco-lite.

[Theodore R.]

Lexington must be so corrupt that Henry Clay would have to relocate were he still living.

[Republican Wildcat]

I'm afraid you are correct. You should look up some of the things the mayor there has done. She's trying to become a despot. The council has reigned her in a few times, but not enough and sometimes goes right along with her over the cliff. The Courts have had to step in a couple of times, too.
