I’m thinking Elton John and David Furnish probably have more comfortable means available to them for a HIV+ infant than an institutional Ukrainian orphanage.
I’m thinking Elton John and his “partner” will use the denial as a publicity hammer to whack at the Ukraine’s values on a global scale.
I can see your point. A liberal Quaker woman I used to work with brought up the arguement of “who is going to adopt all those children?” if the issue was abortion or gay adoptions. I never had a good answer for that. In my entire life, I’ve only known a handful of couples who’ve adopted children.
