Though I really had been hoping enough to be hurt.
My sympathies.
Banning unmarried couples from fostering and adopting children doesn't just hurt the hopeful couples, it hurts children too.
It hurts everyone, and I can't even think of a good side to it. It's just plain bad any way I look at it.
I hope they're able to overturn it.
I hope so too.
I find it frustrating also that it's so clear that this is a subject in which het people will always outnumber GLBT people, so if it's simply the will of the majority that prevails, including prejudices, cluelessness and indifference. This is the way injustice is perpetuated.
All these people, denied rights that seem normal in other developed countries today. So depressing.
