Let's Meet Our Idiot Of The Day, Shall We? Her name is: Debra Maggart.

And not only does she make ridiculous assumptions (which we all know what assuming leads to...), but the woman tries to make up facts.

"In the e-mail with the Vanderbilt student, Maggart said research shows most homosexual couples have numerous emotional dysfunctions and psychological issues that may not be healthy for children."

Hrmm....and who's putting out these statistics Miss Maggart? Could it be such reputible and unbias sources as "Focus On The Family"? Oh, wait, *depresses her sarcasm button* Now then..

Let's go to some truly unbias organizations that have America's Children's Best Interest's at heart and have no political agenda, shall we?

Here are just a few of the institutions that support Same-Sex Parenting/Adoption:
* American Psychological Association
* Child Welfare League of America
* American Psychiatric Association
* National Association of Social Workers
* North American Council on Adoptable Children
* American Academy of Pediatrics

If there's so much evidence showing that Gay & Lesbian parents will molest their children and are apparently sooo unstable, Miss Maggart, then why in the HELL would the Child Welfare League, National Assocation of Social Works, and North American Council on Adoptable Children be supporting same-sex parenting, hrmm? Why in the world would these orginzations that are built on protecting children and putting them in good homes be supporting something that could be detrimental to them?

Not to mention, would you dare claim that any organization does more research on mental health than the American Psychiatric Assocation?

You're a lawyer who managed to get elected because of your narrow minded views. You know nothing about medicine, psychiatry, or homosexuality.

If you were to do some real research, you'd find that the most likely cantidate to molest a male child is a heterosexual male who is married, widowed, divorced, or living with some kind of partner. (Click Here and Here for sources.)

So...should we close adoption off to heterosexuals? Or better yet, sterilize every man in the world?

That's right. Shut up.

Great list of resource material. The North American Council on Adoptable Children was one I hadn't thought of.

I'm from East Tennessee, so I sent Rep Maggart this e-mail.

I also have a post on the recent Donaldson Adoption Institute report. Very encouraging.

Thanks for your post. Bill

A lot of people have challenged her on what she said, but she reacts with self-righteous defensiveness.

I was relieved to learn that this Debra Maggart isn't running unopposed for re-election. There's a normal-looking, sane-sounding veteran and family guy running against her. His name is Patrick Gardner, and his web site is at
http://www.patrickgardner.org/

I think I'm gonna send him a few bucks. I get so tired of reading stories like the one you profiled, and getting angry, but having nothing practical that I can do in response. Maybe if I actually *do* something this time, my blood pressure will go down. And in a small, rural district like that, if a certain number of folks make an effort to help, maybe Rep. Maggart will get a surprise in November when the votes are counted.
