Congressman Paul, why did you vote YES on an amendment, which would have banned discriminated against adoption by same-sex couples and other couples who lacked a marital or familial relationship in Washington, D.C? Do you still oppose adoption by gay couples?

Edit: It appears that the amendment in question didn't outright ban gay adoption but tried to discriminate against gay couples by denying them financial benefits married (i.e. straight) couples would recieve.

Not as bad as a ban but still discriminatory and inexcusable.

The amendment would in no way have recuced overall federal spending btw.

First, thanks for answering congressman.

Second:

I do not like the idea of any government writing prohibitions in these areas.

That's exactly what the bill you voted for was trying to do.

Good luck. No chance of setting up a webcam in the window, I guess?

What do you think the chances of a successful (i.e. removal of Mubarak, suspension of martial law, ect) revolution are?
