House Bill 515

So, the wonderful Republicans in our state proposed a bill to redefine the list of eligible people who may adopt a child. This bill specifically excludes homosexuals and transgender people from adopting a child and from even having a child placed with them. From a legal standpoint, this bill is pure bullshit--logistically impossible to enforce.

You know Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal"? Well, funny Bob Hagan introduced a "co-sponsorship" request for the house to add language to prohibit Republicans from adopting children. Yes, it's a spoof. Just to clarify--much like Jonathan Swift did not really mean for people to eat children.

Bob Hagan's request cites "evidence" from studies and from anectodal experience. He states that he has spoken to children adopted by GOP families who have said of their childhood that well, sometimes it was just plain boring.

hehe. Funny Bob Hagan.
