This made me sick

Nothing in recent weeks has made me feel as physically ill as this Southern Voice story about the six-year old girl whose adoption had been given the highest endorsement by all authoirities, as well as the girl's birth mother, yet was halted by an anti-gay Georgia judge when he found out the mom-to-be is a lesbian. It's one of the clearest examples yet of the need for legal same-sex marriage, and for other case or positive law giving full parenting rights to LGBT adults.

I defy anyone other than the most fanatical idealogue to consider the facts as presented and find an a way to argue that what has happened could have done anything other than traumatize all concerned, especially the girl.
