8. What? Homosexuals can't adopt kids
in Florida? I wasn't aware of that.

Whatta a bunch of redneck assholes. You know, I my ownself was considerably uncomfortable with the idea of kids having "two dads" or "two moms" for a long, long time. Though I was never homophobic, there was something about that kind of arrangement that I did not think was in the best interests of the kids involved.

But one day I bought myself a drink and discussed the idea with my rational side, and came to the conclusion that what's important is if the kids are loved, happy, and well-taken-care-of, and if that's the case, why should I give a damn if the parents are two of one, or one of each?

But I guess there are still a lot of people out there with the kind of blindered, dopey opinions like the one I used to have. Like the anti-gay-marriage neanderthals. For Christ's sake, if John and Joe or Suzy and Sally down the street want to get married, how the hell is that going to make my marriage any less great than it is?

Speaking of great marriages reminds me that my wife is in the other room waiting for me to hang out with her for a while. Gotta go.
