(Orlando Sentinel) On the left is the picture that the Florida Family Policy Council of Orlando, used to illustrate the gay couple that was awarded custody of a relative. It appeared under the headline: “FL judge violates law, places child in homosexual adoption.” The actual couple is on the right.
We could ignore those who are obsessed with denying rights to others if they weren’t so skilled at politics. What they lack in honesty they make up for in effective campaigning, getting politicians to do their bidding.

Once you start substituting facts for demagoguery, those who profit from trying to use religion as a wedge are left with little more than fear-mongering … and fake pictures.

Only, it’s not the two women who love and care for this little boy who are using him that way.
