Please Show Your Support for Gay Adoption in Virginia

I've noted a number of times the raging issue in Virginia concerning a proposed change in the regulations of the Virginia Department of Social Services that would for the first time clearly endorse adoption and foster parenting by same sex couples. Unfortunately, Victoria Cobb (pictured at left) and her fellow hate merchants at The Family Foundation and their insidious network of far right churches and theocrats across Virginia - not to mention their puppets in the GOP such as Ken "Kookinelli" Cuccinelli and Bob "Taliban Bob" McDonnell - have latched onto the issue as a means to denigrate and dehumanize LGBT Virginians yet again. Family Equality is working to get out supporters of gay equality tomorrow at the offices of the Virginia State Board of Social Services where a decision will be made on the proposed regulations. I urge readers in Richmond and the surrounding area who are able to do so to attend the hearing. We CANNOT yield the field to Victoria Cobb and the haters at The Family Foundation. Here are details via Family Equality Council:
*
Tomorrow morning [Wednesday, April 20, 2011] the Virginia State Board of Social Services is meeting to determine whether to accept regulations that would allow gay and lesbian couples to adopt. I am personally attending the meeting tomorrow to speak up for our families.
*
We need as many supporters as we can get to come to the meeting and speak during the public comment period. You and I both know that there will be folks there who don't support our right to adopt, and we need to speak up.
*
Here's the address: Va Dept. of Social Services, Central Region Office 1604 Santa Rosa Road Richmond, VA 23229.
