Save the Children!!

The big news in yesterday’s paper had to be the article on the front page of the local section with the headline, “Lesbian mother wins custody battle.” I could almost hear the screams coming from all the people getting ready for church who were probably just sitting down to eat their Cheerio’s only to find such disturbing information.

According to the article, “The two children – a girl, then 13, and her brother, then 11 – were taken from their father’s home last summer and put in foster care.” I find this statement confusing. The children were living with their father but they were taken from him and placed in foster care because their mom is gay? (Oops, sorry – I meant yag.) I read the entire article twice trying to figure it out and I never did. Obviously there is some information missing from this article.

Nevertheless, it is clear that Kern County Superior Court Judge Richard J. Oberholzer does not listen to Elton John or Boy George. Oberholzer is quoted as saying, “I don’t care what the new generation is saying about we have to accept this. And you know what? I don’t know that people have to accept it, especially children, when it’s going to have a detrimental effect on their life and they’ve expressed a desire not, initially, to go into that type of environment.” Right on Judge! Way to be unbiased and impartial!!

What does “that type of environment” mean? Do homosexuals have different environments? Do they have their own little ecosystems or is it more like a Terrarium?
Does the judge think that this woman does nothing but dance around the house to Madonna oozing gayness all over the place?

As if all of this isn’t bad enough someone had the bright idea to ask Pastor/KHSD Trustee Chad Vegas to share his opinion of the case. Vegas responded that he didn’t think that children should be taken from their parents just because one is gay, but then he added “I also think our society needs to be careful not to say every lifestyle choice is valid and good.”

That’s funny cuz I was thinking the same thing about him last time I saw him.
