Arkansas Supreme Court Unanimously Rules In Favor of Gay Rights

Wow! As Pam Spaulding has been covering, this week the Arkansas Supreme Court struck down it's state legislature's attempt to ban on gay and lesbian couples as foster parents, rejecting "any correlation between the health, welfare and safety of foster children and the blanket exclusion of any individual who is a homosexual or who resides in a household with a homosexual."

Of course, the state's lame duck governor (Mick Huckabee, who is running for President) is asking for a state constitutional amendment to enshrine discrimination in Arkansas. You'd think that politicians in the South would think twice about taking extreme stands on civil rights legislation!
