This is addressed by the Hague Adoption Convention (came into effect over 20 years ago). The issue you raised, giving domestic adoptions preference over international adoptions, is one of provisions. It's up to each country to determine whether they want to sign on - the US has signed on. If you want to criticize a…

Don't let what other people say discourage you!
I don't know that 'damage' is the right word. Will there be identity issues for a non-white adopted child in a predominantly white home? Sure. Will there be similar issues regardless surrounding adopted children? Absolutely. As long as you take the child's ethnicity into account and don't go by some weird color blind…
It was very clear that most of the GOP present had no idea what to do. They had no plan. The house parliamentarian (the woman in white standing next to the Lt. Gov.) was on overdrive. She had to coach him through *everything.* The last time during our cheering that LtGov banged the gavel, he half-heartedly banged it…
I have a bad case of the cries, now.
Pictures of Edith Windsor learning she won the DOMA challenge:
Here's the thing about her excuse— she "only" used it to describe a bank robber, she claims. However, it would *have* to be part of her lexicon for that to happen in the first place. For example, the other day a homeless man ran up to me and started screaming in my face (I couldn't understand him, and he was clearly…
This was sickening to watch. Her picture should be in the dictionary under White Women's Tears. No mention of her treatment of Black employees. No mention of her waxing nostalgic about slavery. She and the MSM have narrowed the entire controversy down to her use of a slur and now she's playing the victim. It…
They changed it from the 26th to the 25th and got busted. Saying the vote happened at 11:59pm and not 12:02am. That's why they backed down. The AP had video and people had screencaps of the website. Social media changed the course of history tonight.
This came across on Twitter via Kristen Bell aka Veronica Mars. 'Wendy of the House Davis'.
Did I hear right that the Republicans went online and changed the date of the vote from the 25th to the 26th so that they could try and vote on it right after she was done past midnight?
Someone tell me that they didn't actually try and pull that shit off.
I spent something like 15 hours in the Senate gallery today. I was part of the first crowd in the room and one of the very last few people out of it. I'm surprised I have a voice at the end of that—I screamed more in 13 minutes than I ever did during any Mardi Gras. I scraped skin off my pinkie finger from my ring…
We talked about this in the piece the other day on different types of racism. Sounds like these guys fall under accidental/unintentional/clueless just like some of my relatives. Like I said of my family members, they believe that unless they actually say things like "I hate black people and wish they would all…
I have a friend who volunteered her time at the hospital playing a fake victim for med students to practice on. She had to pretend to be the victim of domestic abuse and she was like, "Fuck this. Is it because I'm black?" Then she found out that several men there were getting make-up for a violent assault. They were…
Boy, this sounds like something out of "Against Our Will"——-still one of the best and most concise examinations of same-sex rape there is——-and "Conduct Unbecoming", which details how straight male sexuality tends to shape men into predators who don't so much see gender as they do prisons they can rape their …
LMAO! Your comment made me laugh so much...Thank you :)
But you could see from the very start that she already had an issue with him, her body language was weird and she was pretty hostile before they'd even started. I think something happened backstage before they even went on air...
