The following comes from a July 28 posting by Randy Thomasson on Save California.com.

This is not a family you see. These are two very confused men who were likely sexually abused as children. And now they have a boy that one or both have adopted. And this boy is now being indoctrinated with big lies about family and sex….

When Associated Press was preparing a widely-published July 27 article saluting another homosexual-agenda bill redefining family, the reporter pitted three liberal voices against me. But despite misspelling my name, and putting a qualifier before me and a subtle put-down after me, I was still able to warn the readers that AB 2344 was not merely changing the family but eroding the natural institution of family in state law.

“Social conservatives say legislation to change family law wouldn’t be necessary if traditional family structures remained the norm.

“’This shows how far our society has fallen: It used to be a simple answer to who’s your father and who’s your mother,’ said Randy Thomason, president of SaveCalifornia.com and an advocate of traditional families.

“Such arguments didn’t resonate in the Assembly, where the Modern Family Act passed on a 62 to 4 vote with some Republican support and little organized opposition.”

The AP story

The following comes from a July 27 AP story in the DailyBulletin.com.

As the rise of nontraditional families leads to disputes under outdated law, California lawmakers returning from summer break will consider bills that seek to update family law.

Here are the bills:

• AB2344 by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, creates methods for sperm donors and surrogate mothers to clarify their parental and financial responsibilities over biological children and expedites adoptions for non-biological parents, such as a lesbian whose spouse gave birth to their child.

• AB1951 by Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, would update state birth certificates to accommodate same-sex couples by including a gender-neutral parent option. Gay men must identify as mothers and lesbian women must identify as fathers under the existing system.

• AB2034 by Assemblyman Mike Gatto, D-Los Angeles, would allow adult children to petition for visitation rights of their parents, even over objections of future spouses. This is meant to simplify their options under existing law.

• AB1628 by Assemblyman Steve Fox, D-Palmdale, would allow grandparents to petition for visitation rights of their grandchildren when a parent is incarcerated or institutionalized. This adds to a list of reasons that grandparents are allowed visitation when the parents are still married.

• AB1701 by Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, is an annual update to California adoption law. One provision allows parents who pre-arrange adoptions to win temporary custody of a child if a birth mother disappears without relinquishing parental rights. Under existing law, the child can be reclaimed during a six month abandonment period without a court hearing.

When I grew up here there were only 10 million Californians.
NOW there are 38 million. THAT sucks. I wish they would all go back to where they came from. It might make the "golden state" a LITTLE more golden again.

Hope springs eternal...

Sounds like an inducement to murder.

Every big city has safe and dangerous streets. Parents are supposed to instruct children where it's safe and NOT safe to go. My parents sure did.

The bad part of town USED to be all white. Now, the SAME types of bums, pimps, hookers and other con artists are still there, but they are a different color.
