Since the DHS rule has been removed, what rule right NOW prevents a Michael Jackson/NAMBLA Member/sodomizing ex-con/etc from adopting a child in AR.

If DHS does not make the rules about foster care who does?

Why does a whole policy have to be thrown out for one case?

It's clear that this ruling is designed to advance the lie that homosexual couples are just like heterosexual couples. We already had an amendment vote on that subject, along with an election. The homosexual side lost.

What ruled them out before? If you're honestly going to tell me that the DHS policy against allowing foster children in households with homosexuals was the only thing preventing the above scenario from occuring, then I'll tell you that the Arkansas DHS sucks and this is thier comeuppance for trying to swat a fly with a sledgehammer.

Why does a whole policy have to be thrown out for one case?

Because the policy was overbroad. We might as well forbid humans from taking in foster children because some humans are murderers.

It's clear that this ruling is designed to advance the lie that homosexual couples are just like heterosexual couples.

If you need to impose arbitrary and overbearing restrictions on foster parents just to "prove" to yourselves that homosexual couples are inferior to heterosexual couples, then I think that you have some problems with personal insecurity.

We already had an amendment vote on that subject, along with an election. The homosexual side lost.

And so now same-sex couples cannot receive the same legal rights, protections and responsiblities offered to opposite-sex couples. The law on foster children had nothing to do with that.
