Evangelical hate group uses fraudulent flyer to stop gay adoption
In a truly sickening ploy, the Florida Family Policy Council attempted to stop the permanant adoption of a 1 year old boy by a lesbian couple that has had custody of the child since birth (1 woman is related to the child). Even though the judge in making her ruling stated, "The only testimony elicited today was that [the 1-year-old] is loved by these parents more than they even thought that someone could be loved.", those who claim Jesus as their main man would not be stopped in their outpouring of hate.
Fake Real
Is it any wonder that by its own admission "The Family Policy Council says the child is being used as "a political pawn." . They are affiliated with Focus on the Family.
So now those who profit from division are pouncing.
They aren't the people who have cared for this little boy, who have nursed his wounds and tucked him in at night. In fact, they haven't done a thing for him.
They haven't consulted the experts — everyone from a child psychologist to a Guardian ad Litem — who say the parents provide precisely the loving environment that this child needs.
All these critics know is that they don't want gay people to have the same rights as straight people.
So they want him separated from the parents who love him.
"Arrogant judicial activism" was how the finger-waggers at Orlando's Florida Family Policy Council described the ruling in an alert it sent out to its members last week.
And to make their point about just how frightening this ruling was, the Policy Council included a photograph of the couple — a strange and androgynous-looking duo, one with bleached skin and both with mullet haircuts. The couple look so odd (you literally can't tell whether they are male or female) that one might wonder how any judge could place a young child with such a disturbing-looking duo.
Except the judge didn't.
The abnormal-looking couple that the Policy Council chose to illustrate this story is not the same couple granted the right to adopt the child.
Is it any wonder that by its own admission "The Family Policy Council says the child is being used as "a political pawn." . They are affiliated with Focus on the Family.
