There’s photoshop and then there’s this … from The Orlando Sentinel: A Florida judge awarded custody of a 1-year-old boy to the foster family he’d been living with, saying the boy was “happy and thriving.” The adoptive parents, however, happen to be gay. And that didn’t sit well with the Florida Family Policy Council of Orlando, who sent out an alert to its members about the judge’s “arrogant judicial activism.” On the left is the picture that the Policy Council used to illustrate the gay couple that was awarded custody. On the right is the actual couple. (via productiveatwork) Is there any question at this point that the anti-gay movement exists upon a foundation of bare hatred for the “other”? Truth and justification are irrelevant to these reactionary morons. Their position is all gut — 100% comprised of their stupid, stupid gut feelings.
