Gay Adoption...This is hilarious

From politics1.com:
State Senator Robert Hagan (D-Ohio) says he will introduce legislation to ban Republican couples from adopting children. According to Hagan, "credible research'' shows that adopted children raised in GOP households are more at risk for developing "emotional problems, social stigmas, inflated egos, and alarming lack of tolerance for others they deem different than themselves and an air of overconfidence to mask their insecurities." Hagan agrees there is no scientific evidence backing his claims about Republican parents -- just, as Hagan notes, there is none backing State Representative Ron Hood's (R) bill banning gay parents from adopting. Hood claims children purportedly suffer from emotional "harm" when they are adopted by gay couples. Hagan admits he created his proposal to mock Hood's proposed ban on gay adoption in a way that people would see the "blatantly discriminatory and extremely divisive" nature of the bill. The GOP House leadership does not support Hood's proposal.

The name Hagan brings back memories of the 2002 governor election...not because I paid attention to it, but because I'll not soon forget a drunken shultz running around 288 E. 15th at a party yelling "VOTE HAGAN!" at the top of his lungs to everyone...and then coming down the next morning to see Joe had made an attempt to scribble "vote hagan" on our white board. This may or may not have been the same night we learned that the name "anna" is a palindrome...
