Three weeks ago, in Utah County, a niece asked her uncle to take her 4 kids. To care for them because she can't. She's dealing with drug-related criminal matters - and the kids are aged 11, 6, 2-years, and 10 months. The father's not able to care for them either.

The uncle happens to be gay, and in a long term relationship. Michael Valdez and Michael Oberg have been together for about 5 years. They have steady jobs, a nice home, and no criminal record - but they aren't allowed by law to take-in the needy kids.

Utah says that to adopt or be a foster parent, you must be legally married - or single - and not cohabitating. It doesn't license foster couples who aren't legally married. In other words, gay Uncle Valdez could foster or adopt if he wasn't in a steady, thriving relationship. If he was "single".

Officials asked the court to take custody of the kids or grant custody to the state's Division of Child and Family Services. The Daily Herald reports that, on Friday, the courts took custody, then granted Valdez temporary custody of the children.

The judge said, "I see absolutely no reason why the kids can't stay where they're at."

The 11-year-old child said, "I would rather live with my mom. But if I can't, I'd rather live here."

Michael is already a father. Gabrielle Valdez, his 17-year-old biological daughter, said that their home is like any other, complete with family dinners, concerns over school work and regular jobs.

Utah joins Florida and Mississippi with outright bans on gay parents.

According to KSL.com and Utah's Division of Child and Family Services, there are 2,600 children in the state's foster program.

those states are twisted. i am doing some research and i will have some info for you soon. well, after the sox game..... but here is a start: Link

The answer to your question is no. You gays kill me. By that I mean every major change in the world takes time. You gays want everything and you want it now. Well it ain't gonna happen and it shouldn't. Look how long it took for black people to get recognized as real people. So just be happy with baby steps and maybe each baby step after 10 or 20 years will lead to a bigger step. Right now your are hurting yourselves more than you are helping yourselves. Don't force yourselves on a country, or a world, that's not ready yet. The more you try to force yourselves on the country/world the more you will be rejected, and that's as it should be.
This may hurt your feeling, but I quite frankly don't care. The truth generally does hurt.
