Perhaps I was too jubilant over Obama’s victory to notice. . . not only did Californians vote to take away the rights of same-sex partners to marry, voters in Arkansas voted to ban single people from acting as foster parents. Meanwhile,  the state never has anywhere near enough homes for children in the state’s care. I am really shocked. Are we living in 2008, or 1962?

From the Detroit Free Press: “In Arkansas, voters decided that gay and lesbian parents should not be allowed to adopt or act as foster parents by restricting those activities to married couples.”

Sceaarrrrrry.
