The Theocratic States of America

From the Christian Science Monitor:

"Currently, Florida, Mississippi, and Utah have laws that ban gay adoption explicitly, although a few other states - including Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, and New Hampshire - have de facto policies or laws restricting gays from adopting or becoming foster parents."

Sweet Jesus. I wasn't aware I was living in a theocracy. How the hell do those laws hold up? Where are the challenges? Where's the ACLU on this one? And why the hell are so many Americans so bloody afraid of homosexuals?

We've got a long way to go...
