Arkansas Family Council files ballot petition

Jerry Cox and company have filed a 2008 ballot proposal to ban unmarried cohabitating sexual partners from adopting or serving as foster parents. I guess prospective single adoptive or foster parents have been deemed worthy now, but it still is a hateful measure to discriminate against people (such as gays and lesbians) that are not ALLOWED to be married.

Once again, our community is under attack and we must not sit idly by while the Arkansas Family Council pushes their homophobic agenda. Let's circle the wagons, build coalitions with our allies and let our family, friends and neighbors know that life, liberty and justice for ALL is more than lip service in our democracy. We the people, must unite under the ideal that denying rights to any group of people erodes the freedoms of all of the people.
