USA Today has a nice story about the legal complexities of parental rights when a gay couple splits. It shows how the refusal to recognize reality and provide the same basic civil rights and legal protection to same-sex couples as others enjoy creates a legal morass and hurts the kids involved. The best part of the article? Reporter Richard Willing just lays out the facts and didn't feel the need to provide "balance" and quote a far right radical who'd simply want to condemn all gay Americans. Anyone with a heart would say, Gee, these laws aren't good; they're hurting kids and families -- even if these families don't look like mine, they still deserve respect. But the far right says, Kids are hurt? Tough. These sickos shouldn't be having kids anyway, so who cares what happens to them?
