Sad

I usually keep my political opinions to myself. You know, the old saying about never discussing religion or politics at a dinner party. I guess this one covers both actually.

I just read on Perez Hilton that Elton John and his partner were trying to adopt a baby boy from Ukraine and were denied because they weren't married. In the Ukraine you have to be a married couple to adopt children. Elton John and his partner have one of those legal civil union things in the UK, but I guess it wasn't good enough for Ukraine.

This is what gets my panties in a bunch. Elton John stated that they "fell in love" with this little baby boy and wanted very much to adopt him. So it's better to let the poor kid grow up in an orphanage with people who could probably give two shits about him rather than let him be adopted by two people who aren't married but who love him?

What is wrong with this picture?!

So what if they aren't married? So what if they are two gay men? So what, so what, so what?!!! (Picture me stamping my foot here for emphasis.) I wonder if Elton John will lawyer up like Madonna did in Malawi and appeal? I hope so.
