"No Rational Basis"
Florida's gay adoption ban was ruled unconstitutional today:
The ruling means that Martin Gill, 47, and his male partner can adopt two brothers, ages 4 and 8, whom he has cared for as foster children since December 2004. "I've never seen myself as less than anybody else," Gill said. "We're very grateful. Today, I've cried the first tears of joy in my life." He said the two boys have been practicing writing their new last names, and the older one said: "That's what's going to make us a family."
What we're seeing is the confrontation between the logic of rationality and equal protection and the power of popular homophobia.
