Arkansas: Homosexual adoption ban ballot organizer gets hate mail
Michael Foust, writing at Baptist Press:
Jerry Cox of the Arkansas Family Council Action Committee says he has received his share of hate mail and hate e-mails in recent months — not to mention a few annoying phone calls.
But, he says, he has thousands of years of history — and common sense — on his side.
On Nov. 4, voters in Arkansas will consider whether to pass a law prohibiting adoption by cohabitating heterosexual and homosexual couples. Although the law — it’s called Initiated Act 1 on the ballot — would cover all non-married couples, it’s been dubbed by some the “gay adoption ban,” and Cox and his office have received plenty of unwanted attention. They’re the group that organized a petition drive to put it on the ballot.
