Three homosexual couples filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday seeking to overturn a law that prohibits Oklahoma from recognizing adoptions by same-sex couples from other states and countries.
The lawsuit alleges the measure, which is an amendment to the Oklahoma Adoption Code, "appears to sever legal ties between parents and their children whenever families led by same-gender couples enter the state of Oklahoma."
Gov. Brad Henry signed the law in May. It was drafted by 17 state lawmakers after Attorney General Drew Edmondson issued an opinion in April requiring the state to recognize all adoptions, regardless of the gender of parents.
A gay couple from Washington state, Ed Swaya and Greg Hampel, sought the opinion when they asked for a birth certificate listing both of them as their daughter's parents. The state Health Department had initially refused to list Swaya because he was not the birth mother.
The couple adopted their daughter from an Oklahoma woman. Now they fear they would lose their legal rights as parents if they visited the birth mother.
Swaya and Hampel are two of 10 plaintiffs, including the couples' children.

Oklahoma would appear to be in violation of the "full faith and credit" clause of the Constitution. As such, I'd have to favor the plaintiffs.
Which leads us to what happens when a same-sex couple, married in Massachusetts, moves to (say) Oklahoma and seeks to exercise the rights of a married couple there. State DOMAs don't appear to me to hold much water. It'll take a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage across the country.

the regular kind are troublesome enough as it is.
I'd settle for an Ammendment the reinforced state's rights on family issues. I can't believe its come to that, but it has. Republican dumbasses who are enthusiastic about a Guiliani Presidency don't seem to comprehend the road we're headed down. The one fringe benefit of such a law is that it would tend to concentrate the sodomites in particular geographic areas. Fewer brimstone targets.

I think it's the highway that goes through a Pennsylvania town known for it confections.
LOL the guy with the mustache is a definite cross between basil fawlty of the british sitcom fawlty towers and that guy from there is something about mary....can't remember his name...but he wore the flowerdy shirts alot.
That sentiment reflects the views of a good part of the population, including most of the kids who have been brainwashed by the NEA in our public schools.
I wonder what the boy who narrarates the story thinks about the fact that Daddy has an incurable STD, and "Frank" keeps running to the bathroom because a herniated rectum has left him incontinent? According to the story, "being gay is just one more kind of love. And love is the best kind of happiness."
Yes, becuase the heterosexual families have done such a bang up job of raising children. We have the uni-bomber.. we have the highest divorce rate in the world. We have some of the highest suicide rates, our druggged-out pregnant preteens argue a good case for heterosexual family trees. I think we've done a wonderful job raising our children, so let's not let the gay community try their hand at it.
This is just wrong.
Afganistan under the Taliban had extremely low rates of divorce and druggged-out pregnant preteens, and they were executing their homosexuals. Should we try that?
Wow!
That was fast!
These poor kids have to grow up either without a Mom or without a Dad. That is just so sad.
I am the last person who should be pointing fingers at people who get suspended, but this joker signed up two months ago and has posted a handful of times rebutting the conservative position. He smells like one of them thar "Log Cabin Republicans" to me.

Great, let's just do a dandy experiment with the lives of innocent children and evaluate the train wreck later. Yup, sounds good to me.

Public schools have been undermining parents for over 30 years and that is why the disconnect--Parents ASSUME that their little Johnny is taught what I refer to as "common sense" stuff. They are indoctrinated with moral relativism--which demeans Christianity and conservative parents.....
Children should have a right to be raised by a mother and a father since they will have to function in a world with both genders. Anything else should be considered a hateful environment for the sex that is excluded by the homosexual marriage. By allowing homosexual couples to adopt or raise children, you are saying that there is no right and wrong.....teaching moral relativism to the children (which leads to chaos in a society). It is hatefull to allow such a union!!!!!
In the end it doesn't matter what so-called "rights" the homosexuals gain in this life, they will still stand before God and be judged, and it won't be pretty.
As such, I'd have to favor the plaintiffs.
