Absolutely disgusting! The state of Virginia voted to allow discrimination against same-sex couples from adopating but in the MOST ass backwards way that only the fucking toothless hick politicians can do, single gay people are aloud to adopt. Does that make any sense? Need i say more? 

Virginia better never say it is “looking out” for the children because clearly they do not know the first thing about the best interests for  children.

Virginia took the last step on Wednesday in blocking an effort to let same-sex couples adopt children in the state.

The Board of Social Services approved regulations governing adoptions in the state on a 5-1 vote, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The originally proposed anti-discrimination policy included sexual orientation. But when Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell took office he backed a pared down version of the policy, which starts in May.

Agencies will now effectively be permitted to discriminate against prospective foster or adoptive parents based on sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, religion, political belief, and family status, according to the Times-Dispatch.

Only race, color, or national origin are included in the rules.

The state already bars same-sex couples (but not gay individuals) from adopting. Equality advocates have tried to change that policy. A spokesman for Gov. Bob McDonnell said in April that “the existing adoption regulations are effective and fair.”
