Using the excuse of “religious freedom “ House Committee passes Amendment allowing adoption agencies to discriminate against #lgbt parents, single parents, divorced parents and couples of mixed faith. Theocratic fascist @gop strikes again.
Nine US states have passed #lgbt adoption discrimination laws, 5 laws passed in the last 2 years. #lgbt are under attack from right wing ideologues. #queerpol
“Religious Freedom” is a cover for anti gay hate. This ideology espoused by @RWPUSA is a quick wake up for folks to understand who is really with us and who is not. Richard Painter is not with us. #lgbt#queerpol
Craven and heartless @gop has pretended to be “pro family” and “pro life” for 30 years yet they are fine with drugging and caging migrant children and denying foster kids a permanent home. Shame.

No one knows all of these survivors’ names.
They aren’t famous, they didn’t “cash in”
By being raped.
#KavanaughConfirmation and his fascist Theocrat cronies Grassley and Orrin Hatch simply following the crucifixion of Anita Hill model of Trotting out dude after dude who told us that Clarence Thomas “wasn’t” a porn addicted rapist. #longDongSilver
During the Anita Hill hearings a sharp line emerged between women who had been raped and harassed
and those who hadn’t yet reconciled and named their experiences.
“federal legislation could be on the way. In July 2018, Republican representatives introduced a bill that would protect adoption agencies with state or federal contracts who discriminate on religious or moral grounds nationwide. “
The fight over gay adoption parallels the fight over marriage. Republicans have long fought our right to adopt and have “legitimate “ families. Marriage and adoption to them made us “normal” so they fought it with a passion. #queerpol
