I don’t need to “look at the issue” again. It’s the equivalent of the feds telling LA to put a horse on the birth certificate.
Oh c’mon now you’re just being ridiculous - comparing a human legal guardian to listing a different SPECIES as a parent???
I fully recognize the States’ Rights issue involved here, and I’m more than willing to discuss these issues — hence why I asked the question about how LA treats OTHER out-of-state adoptions from New York - SPECIFICALLY HOW IT TREATS HETEROSEXUAL UNMARRIED COUPLES who adopt out of state. If the Feds have allowed Louisiana to make some sort of an exception for refusing to alter the records of those children adopted by unmarried heterosexual couples, and only now are they saying that LA can’t do that because these men are gay - I WILL AGREE COMPLETELY THAT IT’S AN OVERSTEPPING OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!!
We are talking about citizens being recognized the same under laws they are subject to. That IS a factor here whether you want to admit it or not.
Don’t you think I KNOW how ridiculous it is to list one of these gay men as this child’s “MOTHER”???? Please keep in mind — I AM ADOPTED. I can’t IMAGINE the horror of looking at a birth certificate that listed two men, or two women as my “biological parents”.
